1. Install Automatic1111 webui and/or ComfyUI if you haven't yet
2. Install Docker Compose
3. Clone this repo and open a terminal at the root directory
4. Run docker compose build
5. Start the SD backend of your choice
   1. Automatic1111 webui and make sure to add --api --listen to COMMANDLINE_ARGS under webui-user.sh or webui-user.bat depending on the operating system
   2. ComfyUI
      1. Install A8R8 supporting nodes
      2. Add --preview-method auto --listen to the run command, ex: python main.py --preview-method auto --listen
      3. Install https://github.com/ssitu/ComfyUI_UltimateSDUpscale
      4. Install https://github.com/Fannovel16/comfyui_controlnet_aux
   3. Currently the VAE choice is hardcoded depending on the version of the selected model; it'll be configurable through the interface in a future update. Make sure you have these VAE files in the configured paths in either backend:
      1. sdxl_vae.safetensors for SDXL
      2. vae-ft-mse-840000-ema-pruned.ckpt for SD 1.5

1. Run docker compose up
2. Point your browser to http://localhost:4000, it's preferred to use a chromium based browser (Brave, Chromium, Chrome)

1. Run docker compose build
2. Run docker compose up
