How to download the model to Network Volume

At RunC.AI, the Network Volume feature lets you store and access data seamlessly across multiple instances. It’s perfect for persistent storage and working with large datasets without the need to duplicate files.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Create a Network Volume

1. Log in to your RunC.AI (opens in a new tab) account.

2. Navigate to Console → Network Volume.

3. Click New Network Volume.

4. Configure the settings:

• Region: Location of the volume. (can only be mounted to instances in the same region.)
• Volume Name: A descriptive label (e.g., video-project).
• Size: Storage capacity in GB.

5. Click Create.

2. Attach a Network Volume to an Instance

Method 1

1. In your Network Volume panel, click Deploy.

2. You’ll be redirected to the Instance Configuration page.

3. Choose your configuration and deploy.

4. If mounted successfully, the network volume will appear after the container disk.

Method 2

1. Go to Explore and select a region that matches your network volume’s region.

2. Configure your instance and choose the network volume to deploy.

3. If mounted successfully, the network volume will appear after the container disk.

3. Verify the Mount

Connect to JupyterLab and open a terminal. Run the following command:

df -h

If `/network` appears in the output, your setup is complete.
