# Stable diffusion Web UI's for Nix
###### Fully reproducible flake packaging stable diffusion python UI's
## Using this flake
Add the following to your inputs:
```nix
stable-diffusion-webui-nix = {
url = "github:Janrupf/stable-diffusion-webui-nix/main";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
```
Then add the overlay to your system configuration:
```nix
{
nixpkgs.overlays = [ stable-diffusion-webui-nix.overlays.default ];
}
```
Finally add the package you want to your system packages:
```nix
environment.systemPackages = [
pkgs.stable-diffusion-webui.forge.cuda # For lllyasviel's fork of AUTOMATIC1111 WebUI
pkgs.stable-diffusion-webui.comfy.cuda # For ComfyUI
];
```
Afterwards you should have the command `stable-diffusion-webui` or `comfy-ui`
available which launches the server.
### Quirks
#### Where is my WebUI (for Forge) data?
Data is by default stored in `$HOME/.local/share/stable-diffusion-webui`, this can be
overwritten by using the `--data-dir /another/path` argument when starting the Web UI.
#### Where is my ComfyUI data?
Data is by default stored in `$HOME/.local/share/comfy-ui`, this can be ovewritten
by using `--base-directory /another/path` argument.
#### This takes ages to compile...
Running Stable Diffusion models requires CUDA and thus depends on packages which are
by default not available in the NixOS cache. Add the
[cuda-maintainers](https://app.cachix.org/cache/cuda-maintainers) Cachix as a
substituter to your Nix configuration. See the
[NixOS Wiki](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/CUDA) for more information.
## Developing this flake/updating packages to a new version
Due to the nature of python package management, this flake is quite complex.
1. update the commit hashes in `source/package` (file depends on which package you want to change).
2. run `nix run .#package.update-helper source/package/install-instructions.json`
(for example `.#comfy.cuda.update-helper source/comfy/install-instructions-cuda.json`)
to update the requirements metadata
3. try running the package using `nix run .#package` (for example `nix run .#comfy.cuda`) and test everything
NOTE: If you get an error that you have run out of disk space during step 2, your
`/tmp` is too small. Either increase the tmpfs size or run the command with `TMPDIR`
set to a different directory. Generally, if step 2 fails the temporary directory
may not be deleted, you are free to `rm -rf` it, but it can be useful for inspecting
why it failed.
