FlipPix — ready-to-run ComfyUI bundle (Linux / WSL)

A complete snapshot of a working ComfyUI install for FlipPix: the embedded Python environment (python_embeded) plus every custom node already installed. Restoring is extract-and-run — no pip, no virtualenv, no hunting down ~115 custom-node packages.

This is the lowest-friction way to get a guaranteed-working ComfyUI for FlipPix.


File	`flippix-comfyui.tar.gz` (~15 GB)
Checksum	`flippix-comfyui.tar.gz.sha256`
Target	Linux or WSL on Windows
Requires	NVIDIA GPU + recent driver (the bundle ships CUDA-built PyTorch)
Models	NOT included (add your own — see below)

Running plain Windows without WSL? This Linux bundle won't run natively there. A separate Windows bundle (flippix-comfyui-windows.tar.gz) is the native path — see the FlipPix repo.

Quickest restore (one command)

On a Linux box or in WSL, this downloads, verifies the checksum, extracts, and prepares the launcher — no need to grab anything by hand first:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bongobongo2020/flippix/flippix-prompt-image/scripts/restore-comfyui.sh \
  | bash -s -- --hf bongo2k22/flippix-comfyui

Then launch ComfyUI and point FlipPix at it:

cd ~/flippix-comfyui/ComfyUI-Easy-Install && ./run_nvidia_gpu.sh   # serves on 0.0.0.0:8188

In FlipPix → Settings, set the ComfyUI Server URL to http://127.0.0.1:8188 (or the machine's IP if ComfyUI runs on another box). FlipPix users can also click Settings → Set up / Restore ComfyUI, which runs exactly this for you.

Manual restore

Prereqs: tar, and either the hf CLI or curl/wget.

# 1. download the bundle + checksum
hf download bongo2k22/flippix-comfyui flippix-comfyui.tar.gz        --local-dir .
hf download bongo2k22/flippix-comfyui flippix-comfyui.tar.gz.sha256 --local-dir .
#    (or: curl -L -C - -o flippix-comfyui.tar.gz \
#         https://huggingface.co/bongo2k22/flippix-comfyui/resolve/main/flippix-comfyui.tar.gz)

# 2. verify integrity
sha256sum -c flippix-comfyui.tar.gz.sha256

# 3. extract + finalize (rebuilds nothing for python_embeded; just fixes paths)
bash restore-comfyui.sh flippix-comfyui.tar.gz ~/ComfyUI
cd ~/ComfyUI && ./run_nvidia_gpu.sh

restore-comfyui.sh lives in the FlipPix repo. For a private/gated copy of this repo, export HF_TOKEN=hf_xxx before downloading.

Models

Model weights are not bundled (they'd add hundreds of GB). After restoring, either:

point ComfyUI/models at an existing weights folder (symlink or extra_model_paths.yaml), or
download the FlipPix model set via the manifest scripts/flippix-models.txt.

What's inside

python_embeded/ — portable Python 3.12 with all dependencies for every custom node
ComfyUI/ — ComfyUI source + custom_nodes/ (~115 packs) + your workflows/settings
run_nvidia_gpu.sh and the other ComfyUI-Easy-Install launchers
.flippix-backup/manifest.txt and custom_nodes.txt (provenance) + requirements-freeze.txt

Excluded: model weights, output/, temp/, __pycache__, and machine-specific run configs.

Licensing

This bundle aggregates ComfyUI (GPL-3.0) and many third-party custom nodes, each under its own license (see .flippix-backup/custom_nodes.txt for the list and source repos). It contains no model weights. By using it you agree to the respective upstream licenses.
