Save $$$ on RunPod! Create a Shell (.sh) Script to Reduce ComfyUI Startup Time 🚀

[@PhantasyAI0]

First subscriber! Great videos man. Learning runpod because of you :)

[@TheArt-OfficialTrainer]

@@PhantasyAI0 Glad to hear it! I’ll have a lot more videos coming out, so stay tuned! :)

what would a line in the install.sh file look like if i added it to this script to download a comfy node, like comfyui-essentials, for example? where to put?

[@TheArt-OfficialTrainer]

Very similar to installing the comfy manager! Find the git repo, and clone it into custom_nodes folder, then install the requirements.txt file with “pip install -r requirements.txt” if the git repo has a requirements.txt file

@@TheArt-OfficialTrainer thanks!

[@ModRebelMockups]

could u pls show how to add hugging face token to the aria2c line to add something that reqs a hf token?

[@TheArt-OfficialTrainer]

Sure! I can do a video on huggingface in the future. Add this to the aria2c command: --header “Authorization: Bearer mytoken123" So it should look like: aria2c -c -x 16 -s 16 --header “Authorization: Bearer mytoken123" url.com -d /directory -o filename.safetensors

[@ModRebelMockups]

fixed it. needed to first update pip with pip install --upgrade pip before running pip install -r requirements.txt.

[@TheArt-OfficialTrainer]

Glad you were able to figure out the fix!

[@ModRebelMockups]

​@@TheArt-OfficialTrainer what would this line look like for a civitai model w their auth token?

[@Garycarlyle]

The clips are not in the same folder as the Flux1-schnell or the ae so no idea how those two paths worked

[@TheArt-OfficialTrainer]

Look at the “-d” flag, the path after that is the folder inside the comfyui folder that you should put the file in

[@ModRebelMockups]

so ok i made the script. i ran it the first time i created the pod. i exited the pod. not deleting it tho. reopening it. now what do i do to run comfy again? cuz the comfyui folder is already there so i dont need to run the script again. but comfy isnt automatically opening on 3000

[@ModRebelMockups]

nvm figured it out. start the python env and run the python main.py again. leaving here in case helps someone else

[@DM-dy6vn]

Obviously, ComfyUI saves the last used workflow somewhere, and reload it automatically even after a clean fresh installation. I don't know how to feel about it.

[@TheArt-OfficialTrainer]

If you’re using RunPod, I actually think it’s cached on the webpage, so if you use the same pod and do a clean install, it uses the previously cached webpage to reload. If you’re using your own local machine, I’m not sure..
