Build your workflow app on RunPod

Creating a workflow application website can be challenging for ComfyUI developers.
Developing the workflow is demanding, and getting others to use it is even more so, due to environment setup issues, custom ComfyUI node issues, model downloading problems, among others. With ComfyFlowApp and ComfyUI, creators can easily build their own workflow application websites.

Taking RunPod as an example, this explains how to use ComfyFlowApp and ComfyUI to construct your own workflow application website.

1. Deploy RunPod GPU instance

Choose an RTX 3080 Ti with 12GB VRAM as an example. The cost is $0.19 per hour. If we opt for Spot mode, the price drops to $0.15 per hour.

After the instance is launched, you can connect to the RunPod instance using SSH, or access the instance through Jupyter Notebook. The following is an explanation using SSH as an example.
Configure port mapping and modify ports 8888, 8188, 8501.
Changing the mapped ports will cause the server to restart. Content outside the /workspace directory will be lost, so we map the port first.

2. Deploy and start ComfyUI

cd /workspace

# git clone comfyui
