Port 3000 is auto exposed to connect ComfyUI and you can literally use with any available on GPU on RunPod

You can edit template and change Volume Disk size. it is by default 200 GB

Upload all files into workspace extract all from zip file or directly upload extracted files

Start a new terminal

To install run below command

export HF_HOME="/workspace"
chmod +x Runpod_Install_Forge_Neo.sh
./Runpod_Install_Forge_Neo.sh

To fast download models I recommend our model downloader app : https://www.patreon.com/posts/114517862

Open a new terminal and run the following code each time you need to start the App later:

cd /workspace
export HF_HOME="/workspace"
export PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore"
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
cd sd-webui-forge-classic
source ./venv/bin/activate
cd ..
python smart_launch.py --full-startup --share --disable-sage --enable-insecure-extension-access


You will receive a Gradio live link, and you'll be able to connect via the proxy on port 7861.

Pay attention to the Gradio share link among the printed messages.

Remove the --share option in webui-user.sh if you don't want the Gradio live link

If you rent multiple GPU machine, you can start different instances on each GPU by changing export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 2 3 4 etc

If you turn off pod and start again later, run installer again and it will install temporary libraries again.

Remove --full-startup if you want faster startup but do this if you know what you are doing
