Usage
Using a reverse proxy (advanced)
If you're running ComfyUI Launcher behind a reverse proxy or in an environment where you can only expose a single port to access the Launcher and its workflow projects, you can run the Launcher with PROXY_MODE=true (only available for Docker).
docker run \
--gpus all \ # remove this line if you don't have a GPU or if you're on MacOS
--rm \
--name comfyui_launcher \
-p 4000:80 \
-v $(pwd)/comfyui_launcher_models:/app/server/models \
-v $(pwd)/comfyui_launcher_projects:/app/server/projects \
-e PROXY_MODE=true \
-it thecooltechguy/comfyui_launcher
Once the container is running, all you need to do is expose port 80 to the outside world. This will allow you to access the Launcher and its workflow projects from a single port.
Currently, PROXY_MODE=true only works with Docker, since NGINX is used within the container.
If you're running the Launcher manually, you'll need to set up a reverse proxy yourself (see the nginx.conf file for an example).
Using an existing ComfyUI models folder
When starting the ComfyUI Launcher, you can set the MODELS_DIR environment variable to the path of your existing ComfyUI models folder. This will allow you to use the models you've already downloaded. By default, they're stored in ./server/models
Using a different folder to store your Launcher projects
When starting the ComfyUI Launcher, you can set the PROJECTS_DIR environment variable to the path of the folder you'd like to use to store your projects. By default, they're stored in ./server/projects
