Free GPU Fooocus XL CoLab

Dear Stoke, Thank you always for your helpful articles and programs. I tried using it immediately. It was my first time using Fooocus, but I found it easy to generate excellent images. Here is a post with the resulting creations. https://civitai.com/posts/608326 By the way, I would now like to try using other models, such as Stoked Reality XL, with this. How should I specify them? Currently, I understand it is set up as a standard configuration to download SD XL from the internet and use it. Should I create a folder for some model under /content/gdrive/MyDrive/Fooocus/StokedRealityXL/ and specify the path? I apologize for my lack of knowledge; your guidance would be greatly appreciated.

@aihonobono2023 I will be on colabs later tonight. The file that needs changed is launch.py. At first when I passed a non default model I got errors saying that the default model couldn't be found. So easiest just downloading it under the default name to bypass this.
If you can wait till later tonight I will post a CoLab that takes the model download URL from the user. Again it will still show as default model, but it will indeed be the model you pass.

As always a pleasure interacting with you.

@aihonobono2023 Give this a go and let me know how you get on:

@Stoke Thank you very much. I am trying it out now. Since I live in Japan, I believe there might be a time difference. I might not be able to try it out at the ideal time. Nonetheless, I will post the results regardless.

@aihonobono2023 Excellent. I am just about to leave for an extra shift at work so that gives me something to look forward to.

I have verified the operation of the new notebook. It appears to be in a state where I can enter the model's URL in the middle of the runtime, and it seems to be downloading and executing it as sd_xl_base. I have attached a screenshot for your confirmation. Thank you very much. https://civitai.com/posts/619686

@aihonobono2023 I kept the default filename as when I changed it to the User Downloaded model name it broke something. This was the easiest fix I thought. Glad you confirmed User model downloads. I use Fooocus quite a bit now.

@aihonobono2023 when you enter usermodel url it downloads usermodel.safetensors but renames it to sdxl-model.safetensors. Was an easy workaround to save me editing other code elsewhere.

@Stoke Thank you for your comments. I also did some research on Fooocus. And I've just recently learned about the existence of Fooocus-MRE, so I am trying it out on Colab now. https://github.com/MoonRide303/Fooocus-MRE I attempted to set up the execution environment on Colab's Google Drive and see if I can select any model, but it didn't go very well. I will look into this a bit more.

@aihonobono2023 I have seen the repo for MRE on github and am aware that it is a more in depth version, however I have yet to try it out. Let me know how you get on with it. If I make a CoLab for it I will make sure it saves images to GDrive and you are able to change default model. Will post here if I get it done. 🫡

@Stoke I am referring to the FOOOCUS COLAB notebook that you have shared here. After mounting Google Drive, I run the colab.ipynb located in Fooocus-MRE. https://colab.research.google.com/github/MoonRide303/Fooocus-MRE/blob/moonride-main/colab.ipynb Then, using a symbolic link, I ensure our images get saved to my GDrive.

Following your example, I was able to install Fooocus-MRE by executing the code below after mounting the Google Drive. The basic functions are operating without issues, however, I am experiencing some trouble when including more than one wildcard in the prompt, as it causes errors.

%cd /content/gdrive/MyDrive/

!git clone https://github.com/MoonRide303/Fooocus-MRE.git

%cd Fooocus-MRE

!cp settings-no-refiner.json settings.json

!pip install pygit2==1.12.2

!python entry_with_update.py --share

@aihonobono2023 Oooh, jusy got the CoLab running and I like this. We will end up with a custom free GPU version, this I promise you friend. At very latest I am off work on Wed, Thurs and Fri every week so these are my productive days I can spend on computer.
Good night, I shall bother you no more just now 😌

@Stoke Thank you for getting in touch. It’s wonderful that you are able to have productive time for three days a week. My days off are Saturday and Sunday. I, too, will gradually proceed with studying image generation and AI. I am also very much looking forward to our conversations. Good night

@aihonobono2023 If you are still around I finally got around to writing that colab. It works really well and you can use your own Checkpoint and LoRA files - named properly. Images also get saved to GDrive. If you are still interested then check it out:

@Stoke Thank you very much for getting in touch with me. Having reviewed your code, I must say it is quite an impressive piece of work. Your efforts are truly commendable. Currently, it is functioning seamlessly in my environment. I plan to proceed with downloading the model and Lora shortly. I will be sure to keep you updated.

hey so im new here and ive just started useing fooocus colab and both when i downloaded it and did the link it would show up an error message, and wouldnt let me generate anymore and would just stop completly. have you run into this problem at all and if so how i can fix it?
