Deploying ComfyUI on RunPod

comfyui_setup.sh

#this script corresponds to this tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hCGDcfPy8Y
#You only need to run this script once. However, when you start a new runpod server, you will  need to  initialize conda in the shell. 
#1. run the following command to intialize conda in the shell
#/workspace/miniconda3/bin/conda init bash
#2. run the following command to activate the conda environment
#conda activate comfyui
#3. run the following command to start comfyui
#python main.py --listen

Very nice to share you setup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hCGDcfPy8Y

I was confused after your script run, because conda was not activated, so I asked ChatGPT

And also created a second script only to run comfyUI once it is setup.

I created 2 .sh files, ones with yours to setup
And a second one to run without having to figure out the command, probably, I will also automatise so anytime I run the pod, it is run as well

source /workspace/miniconda3/bin/activate
conda activate comfyui
cd /workspace/ComfyUI
python [main.py](javascript:void(0);) --listen
