Hi guys,
I used the Docker install from here. It was easy to get Automatic1111’s web interface up and running, but I’m trying to add new models and I can’t figure out how to do it.
I’ve created a /data/StableDiffusion folder (which didn’t exist), and added model files from /data/models, with no effect. I’ve added them to /data/models/stable-diffusion (which already exists), with no effect. Is there another location where the files are stored? Do I need to do something else to get them to work?
ETA: Discovered I was using the wrong file type (.pth) instead of the correct one (.ckpt). When I tried it with that file type it works perfectly. Thank you everyone for your quick responses and help! Y’all were way faster and more helpful than Reddit!
I used the command to install DS found on the git page
docker compose --profile download up --buil
And then to run Automatic1111 I used the following command
docker compose --profile auto up --build
You should put your models inside the folder model/StableDiffusion that is in your host machine.
Actually I tried running it, the correct folder would be. [PATH_TO_WHERE_YOU_GIT_CLONE]/stable-diffusion-webui-docker/data/models/Stable-diffusion
So I had a sudden thought, went back and tried a different model file that is a .ckpt file rather than the .pth files I was testing with. This worked, so obviously it was a simple matter of the wrong file type. Now I feel foolish!
Out of curiosity, what is the .pth file type used for?
So far I only have seen .pth in upscalers. Inside the folders ERSGAN and RealERSGAN for example. And yes models are .chkpt or .safetensors
I see. Well thanks for your help anyway mate 🙂
Never install .ckpt checkpoints (unless you’re 1000% sure of the source. Always use safetensors files instead.
Hmm, that’s a good point. I’ve just looked up the difference. Thanks
I’ve tried that. There is already a folder at /data/models/Stable-diffusion that has two .ckpt files that match the options that are available in the web ui. I’ve tried pasting the other .pth files that are in other folders within /data/models but they do not appear as options in the ui.
