ComfyUI Docker Setup

Hey there! This repository sets up ComfyUI, a powerful node-based interface for Stable Diffusion, using Docker. I've created separate configurations for AMD, Intel, and Nvidia GPUs to hopefully get everyone up and running smoothly.

Summary

This docker-compose.yml file defines three ComfyUI services:

• comfyui-amd: Optimized for AMD GPUs.
• comfyui-intel: Optimized for Intel GPUs.
• comfyui-nvidia: Configured for Nvidia GPUs.

You'll be able to access ComfyUI through your browser at http://localhost:8188 (assuming you're running this locally) or http://<ip>:8188.

Dependencies

Before you start, make sure you have the following installed:

• Docker: You'll need Docker installed and running on your system. https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/
• Docker Compose: Docker Compose is used to define and run multi-container Docker applications. It's usually bundled with Docker Desktop, but if not, you can install it separately: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
• GPU Drivers: Make sure you have the latest drivers installed for your GPU (AMD, Intel, or Nvidia).
• Models: You'll need to download the Stable Diffusion models and place them in the ./models directory. (This directory will be mounted into the container).

Getting Started

Here's how to get everything up and running:

1. Clone the repository: Clone this repository to your local machine.

2. Download Models: Download your preferred Stable Diffusion models (e.g., checkpoints, VAEs, LoRAs) and place them in the ./models directory.

3. Choose your profile: Pick the profile corresponding to your GPU: comfyui-amd, comfyui-intel, or comfyui-nvidia.

4. Run Docker Compose: Open your terminal, navigate to the directory where you cloned the repository, and run the following command, specifying the profile:

   docker-compose --profile comfyui-amd up -d  # For AMD
   docker-compose --profile comfyui-intel up -d # For Intel
   docker-compose --profile comfyui-nvidia up -d # For Nvidia
   

   The -d flag runs the containers in detached mode (in the background).

5. Access ComfyUI: Once the containers are running, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:8188. You should see the ComfyUI interface.

To stop the containers:

docker-compose down

Important Notes:

• The CLI_ARGS environment variables in each service are specific optimizations for each GPU type. You can customize these if you want to experiment with different settings.
• The ./output and ./user directories are used for saving generated images and custom workflows, respectively.
