Stable Diffusion is a latent text-to-image diffusion model specializing in the generation of photo-realistic images based on textual inputs. It offers users the ability to autonomously create striking visual art within seconds. This model represents a significant advancement in image generation, particularly in terms of enhanced image composition and face generation, resulting in visually impressive and highly realistic output. With CUDO Compute you can deploy Stable Diffusion to the latest NVIDIA Ampere Architecture GPUs. Prebuilt images with NVIDIA drivers are ready to deploy.

​
Prerequisites

  • Create a project and add an SSH key
  • Choose a virtual machine with an NVIDIA GPU and remember to add plenty of storage
  • Use the Ubuntu 22.04 + NVIDIA drivers + Docker image (in CLI tool type -image ubuntu-nvidia-docker)
The main reason to select a higher VRAM is if you require larger image sizes

​
Install easy diffusion

SSH into your virtual machine and run the following commands 
apt install zip -y

wget https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui/releases/latest/download/Easy-Diffusion-Linux.zip

unzip Easy-Diffusion-Linux.zip

cd easy-diffusion

​
Start easy diffusion

Run easy diffusion and enable web remote access 
echo -e "net:\n    listen_port: 9001\n    listen_to_network: true" > config.yaml

./start.sh
Wait a few minutes and go to http://<your-vm-ip>:9001 in your web browser Stop easy diffusion and install xformers, then restart

​
Install xformers

./developer_console.sh

python -m pip install --upgrade torch==2.0.1+cu118 torchvision==0.15.2+cu118 xformers==0.0.22 --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118
