Stable Diffusion Plugin

To use Stable Diffusion with this project, you will either need to download and install stable-diffusion-webui or, for a dockerized deployment, you can also use stable-diffusion-webui-docker

With the docker deployment you can skip step 2 and step 3, use the setup instructions from their repository instead.

• Note: you need a compatible GPU ("CPU-only" is possible but very slow). Nvidia is recommended, but there is no clear resource on incompatible GPUs. Any decent GPU should work.

1. Follow download and installation instructions from stable-diffusion-webui readme

2. Edit your run script settings

Windows

• Edit your webui-user.bat file by adding the following line before the call command:

• set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--api

  • Your .bat file should like this with all other settings default

  @echo off
  
  set PYTHON=
  set GIT=
  set VENV_DIR=
  set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--api
  
  call webui.bat
  

Others (not tested but should work)

• Edit your webui-user.sh file by adding the following line:

• export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--api"

  • Your .sh file should like this with all other settings default

  
  export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--api"
  
  #!/bin/bash
  #########################################################
  # Uncomment and change the variables below to your need:#
  #########################################################
  
  # ...rest
  

3. Run Stable Diffusion (either .sh or .bat file according to your operating system)

4. In the app, select the plugins endpoint, open the plugins store, and install Stable Diffusion

Note: The default port for Gradio is 7860. If you changed it, please update the value accordingly.

Docker Install

• Use SD_WEBUI_URL=http://host.docker.internal:7860 in the .env file
• Or http://host.docker.internal:7860 from the webui

Local Install

• Use SD_WEBUI_URL=http://127.0.0.1:7860 in the .env file
