🦅 How to Deploy Ouroboros on Google Colab

Since you don’t have a local GPU, we will run the AI “Brain” on Google Colab (Free Tier T4 GPU) and connect it to your local machine.

Step 1: Upload the Notebook

  1. Open Google Colab.
  2. Click Upload and select the file: g:\Just a Idea\ouroboros_colab_server.ipynb
    • (You can find this file in your project folder).

Step 2: Configure Runtime

  1. In the Colab menu, click Runtime > Change runtime type.
  2. Set Hardware accelerator to T4 GPU (or better if available).
  3. Click Save.

Step 3: Run the Server

  1. Click Runtime > Run all (or press Ctrl+F9).
  2. Ngrok Setup: You will be asked for an ngrok token.
    • Go to dashboard.ngrok.com.
    • Copy your Authtoken.
    • Paste it in the Colab input box and press Enter.
  3. Hugging Face Login: You will be asked for a Hugging Face token.
    • Paste your Write-enabled token and press Enter.

Step 4: Connect Locally

  1. Scroll to the bottom of the Colab output.
  2. Look for the line: 🔥 SERVER RUNNING! 🔥
  3. Copy the URL (e.g., https://12ab-34-56.ngrok-free.app).
  4. Open your local .env file (g:\Just a Idea\.env).
  5. Paste the URL:
    COLAB_API_URL=https://12ab-34-56.ngrok-free.app
    

Step 5: You’re Ready!

You can now run Ouroboros commands locally, and the heavy lifting will happen on Colab.
