Common Workflows

Local Dev Setup (no GPU)

# Start Tabby with small CPU model
docker run -d \
  --name tabby \
  -v $HOME/.tabby:/data \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  tabbyml/tabby \
  serve --model TabbyML/StarCoder-1B

# Check logs
docker logs -f tabby

# Install VS Code extension and point to localhost:8080
code --install-extension TabbyML.vscode-tabby

# Test endpoint
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/health

Team Server Setup (CUDA)

# 1. Provision GPU server (e.g., AWS g4dn.xlarge = T4 16GB)
# 2. Install Docker + NVIDIA container toolkit
curl -fsSL https://nvidia.github.io/libnvidia-container/gpgkey | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/nvidia-container-toolkit-keyring.gpg
# ... (full nvidia-docker install steps)

# 3. Start Tabby with GPU
docker run -d \
  --name tabby \
  --gpus all \
  -v /opt/tabby:/data \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  tabbyml/tabby \
  serve \
    --model TabbyML/DeepseekCoder-6.7B \
    --chat-model TabbyML/Mistral-7B \
    --device cuda

# 4. Configure team members to use http://your-server-ip:8080

Air-Gapped / Private Deployment

# Pre-download all needed models on internet-connected machine
tabby download --model TabbyML/DeepseekCoder-6.7B
tabby download --model TabbyML/Mistral-7B

# Copy model cache to air-gapped machine
rsync -av ~/.tabby/models/ airgapped-host:/opt/tabby/models/

# Run on air-gapped machine (models already cached)
docker run -d \
  -v /opt/tabby:/data \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  tabbyml/tabby \
  serve --model TabbyML/DeepseekCoder-6.7B --device cuda

Tips and Best Practices

Model Selection Guide

VRAMRecommended Completion ModelNotes
CPU onlyTabbyML/StarCoder-1BSlow but works everywhere
4GBTabbyML/StarCoder-1BFast on GPU
8GBTabbyML/DeepseekCoder-6.7BBest quality/performance balance
16GBTabbyML/StarCoder2-15BHigh quality completions
24GB+TabbyML/CodeLlama-13B or largerProduction-grade

Performance Tuning

# Reduce memory usage — use smaller quantized models
# Model names ending in -Q4 or -GGUF use less VRAM

# Monitor GPU usage while Tabby is running
watch -n1 nvidia-smi

# Set completion timeout in VS Code settings
{
  "tabby.inlineCompletion.debounceDelay": 300    # ms to wait before triggering
}

# For faster response: use smaller model + GPU over larger model + CPU
# StarCoder-1B on GPU > DeepseekCoder-6.7B on CPU

Security Best Practices

PracticeDetail
Enable authTurn on authentication in admin UI for team deployments
Use HTTPSPut Nginx/Caddy in front with TLS for remote access
Token rotationRotate user tokens periodically via admin UI
FirewallRestrict port 8080 to internal network only
Usage trackingSet TABBY_DISABLE_USAGE_COLLECTION=1 for privacy
Air-gap optionDeploy fully offline — no external calls needed

Troubleshooting

# Server won't start — check logs
docker logs tabby

# Out of memory — switch to smaller model
docker run ... tabbyml/tabby serve --model TabbyML/StarCoder-1B

# GPU not detected
nvidia-smi                           # verify GPU is visible
docker run --gpus all nvidia/cuda:12.0.0-base-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi  # test nvidia-docker

# Slow completions on CPU
# Normal: CPU inference is slow (1-5s for 1B model)
# Fix: add a GPU, or use cloud backend in config.toml

# VS Code extension not connecting
# Check: tabby.endpoint matches your server URL
# Check: server is running (curl http://localhost:8080/v1/health)
# Check: token is correct (if auth is enabled)

# Re-index repositories
tabby scheduler --now
# Or via API: POST http://localhost:8080/v1beta/repositories/resolve
