stable-diffusion-ui-podman/README.md

What is this?

This repo is an easy way to run Easy Diffusion in a podman container. I needed to put Easy Diffusion into a container for my own purposes, and publishing this wasn't a lot of effort; so here we are.

I highly recommend rootless podman, as otherwise this will result with the ui running as root in a privileged container.

This targets Nvidia and Arch, and nothing else, I'm old and lazy.

It should work on anything that has an Nvidia GPU, podman, and the nvidia container toolkit (with the nvidia devices setup hook).

Note that there's currently an issue with the AUR packages for Nvidia's container toolkit. See this issue for details and a workaround.

HOWTO

• Set up GPU access in podman
• Run the following:

# Build the image
podman build --no-cache . -t 'stable-diffusion-ui-server'

# Run the container
podman run -it --device nvidia.com/gpu=all --security-opt=label=disable --name stable-diffusion-ui -p 9000:9000 -v ./data:/opt/stable-diffusion-ui -e NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility localhost/stable-diffusion-ui-server
