Aquanode DocsComfyUI
Deploy ComfyUI, the node-based Stable Diffusion UI, as a template on a GPU machine. Aquanode provisions and starts it for you behind a private, password-protected URL.
These are starting points on a pod
Picking this in the console is how you start a pod. The app is preinstalled on the first launch, and everything you add afterwards lives on the pod's disk, so it survives pausing the machine and comes back when you resume. See Launching a pod.
ComfyUI is a node-based interface for Stable Diffusion image and video generation. Aquanode runs it as a template: pick it when you deploy a GPU machine and it starts automatically on boot, served behind a password-protected URL. You don't install or configure anything on the box yourself.
What you can do
- Launch ComfyUI on a GPU machine with no manual setup
- Access it from your browser over a private URL with auto-generated login credentials
- Use any GPU from the marketplace that fits your models
Deploy ComfyUI
Pick a GPU
Go to the Marketplace and choose a GPU offer. ComfyUI runs on the machine you deploy, so pick a GPU with enough VRAM for the models you plan to run.
Select the ComfyUI template
In the deploy configuration panel, open the Template dropdown and choose ComfyUI. Set a deployment name and adjust resources if needed, then deploy.
The service starts on boot
You don't need to do anything on the machine. Aquanode provisions the box, installs ComfyUI, and starts it automatically once the machine is ready.
Open ComfyUI
When the deployment reaches Ready, open it from Deployments and go to the Overview tab. The ComfyUI section shows:
- An Open button (and the URL, with a copy button)
- A Username and Password to sign in
Click Open, enter the username and password, and ComfyUI loads in your browser.
Access details
- ComfyUI is served on port 5188 behind HTTP basic authentication, so it is not open to the public, only to someone with the credentials shown on your deployment.
- The username and password are generated automatically per deployment and displayed on the Overview tab.
- The service status (running / starting) is shown alongside the credentials.
The machine bills until you close it
A ComfyUI deployment is a running GPU machine. It keeps billing until you close the deployment from the console. Close it when you're done.
