Features of ComfyUI Mini

Requirements

For PC (Hosting WebUI):

• ComfyUI: Ensure ComfyUI is installed and functional (recommended Mar 13, 2023 release).
• NodeJS: Version 15.6.0 or higher.
• Package Manager: Preferably NPM, as Yarn has not been extensively tested but should work nonetheless.

Mobile (Accessing WebUI):

• Browser: Any modern browser with support for WebSocket.
• Network: A connection to the same network as the hosting PC.

Installation Steps

Follow these straightforward steps to get ComfyUI Mini up and running:

1. Clone the GitHub Repository:

   bash
   git clone https://github.com/ImDarkTom/ComfyUIMini.git
   cd ComfyUIMini
   

2. Install Dependencies: You can use NPM or Yarn for this purpose.

   bash
   npm install
   

   or

   bash
   yarn install
   

3. Run the App:

   bash
   node .
   

   You may modify the ComfyUI URL/port in the config.json folder as well as the port for the app. After successfully running, you should see a message in the console similar to Running on http://local-ip:port. Simply enter the local address of your PC along with the port into another device’s URL bar to access the main page.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Here are some common questions and their solutions to help you troubleshoot:

FAQ

Q: I can’t import my workflow.

A: Ensure your workflow is saved in API Format, as regular saving does not provide sufficient information for listing all available inputs. For guidance on enabling this option, check the tutorial here.

Q: Can you access the WebUI outside of the local network?

A: Yes, but keep in mind that doing so requires port forwarding, which may pose security risks as it could allow unauthorized access to your WebUI. Since port forwarding settings vary with different internet service providers, consider searching for “your ISP enable port forwarding” for assistance in your specific case.
