| # ComfyUI Setup for GCP (Google Cloud Platform) |
|
|
| This directory contains an updated and optimized ComfyUI setup workflow designed specifically for GCP Virtual Machines. |
|
|
| ## Key Improvements over RunPod (`comfy_setup`) |
| |
| 1. **Non-Root & Home Workspace Integration**: |
| - Replaced fixed `/workspace` and `/root` paths with `${HOME}/workspace` (`~/workspace/comfyui/ComfyUI`). |
| - Runs cleanly as a standard GCP SSH user without requiring root privileges. |
| - Logs saved to safe non-root locations (`/tmp/*.log`). |
| |
| 2. **Updated PyTorch 2.11.0 (CUDA 12.8)**: |
| - Uses PyTorch `2.11.0` with CUDA 12.8 wheels index (`https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu128`). |
| - Uses `uv` (fast Rust-based package installer) with automatic `pip` fallback. |
| |
| 3. **GCP Reboot Recovery**: |
| - Automatically generates a local `~/workspace/restart_after_reboot.sh` recovery script. |
| - Restores ComfyUI server, Cloudflared tunnel, and Gradio helper UI screen sessions after VM restarts. |
| |
| 4. **Dynamic Model & Output Directories**: |
| - `helpers.py` automatically detects and defaults model paths to `~/workspace/comfyui/ComfyUI/models/`. |
| |
| ## Quick Start |
| |
| Run the setup script on your GCP VM: |
| |
| ```bash |
| cd comfy_setup_gcp |
| bash setup.sh |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Screen Sessions |
| |
| Monitor or attach to running background sessions: |
| |
| ```bash |
| # Attach to ComfyUI server logs |
| screen -r comfyui |
| |
| # Attach to Cloudflared tunnel logs |
| screen -r tunnel8188 |
| |
| # Attach to Helper UI (CivitAI & HuggingFace downloader/uploader) |
| screen -r helpers |
| ``` |
| |
| ## After VM Reboot |
| |
| To restart all background services after rebooting your GCP instance: |
| |
| ```bash |
| bash ~/workspace/restart_after_reboot.sh |
| ``` |
| |
