Set up your RapidCache account

This is step 1 of 2.

Set the email and password you want here. You will sign in with them inside your pod, on the RapidCache tab. There is no login on this website.

Getting started on RunPod

1. Deploy the template

Everything is preinstalled. One click and the pod builds itself.

Deploy the all-in-one template

2. Storage, the one setting worth getting right

Container disk: 100 GB or more. Downloads are staged here first and the largest single model is 28.43 GB. The template ships 200 GB, which is fine.

Volume disk, not Network volume. Both mount at the same place. Volume disk is local to your pod and roughly ten times faster to write. Network volume is shared storage that survives the pod being terminated, and it costs less, so it is a reasonable choice if you want your models to outlive the pod. Pick Volume disk if you want the quickest setup.

200 GB is comfortable for two or three workflows.

3. Where you actually sign in

The RapidCache tab inside the pod, with Email and Password fields — Inside your pod: the RapidCache tab in the left menu. Sign in there with the email and password you set above. Click to enlarge.

You will know it worked when a green RapidCache badge appears at the top of the workflow list. That badge is the only confirmation you need.

4. If downloads feel slow

Speeds vary, and mostly not because of us. Your pod shares a server with other people's pods, and how much of the connection is free depends on what they are doing. The RapidCache Docs tab inside the pod explains what the numbers mean, when to wait, and when to deploy a new pod.

Your licence key is proof that the account is yours, so no email is involved. Paste it again and choose a new password.

Your account is ready
