AUTOMATIC1111 Docker Image

Docker image of AUTOMATIC1111 Stable Diffusion Web UI. running on Python 3.10.

Images are available of v1.7.0 and later.

To use CUDA you must have a Docker host (Docker Desktop or a server) with the appropriate hardware support in place, these links may help you get started:

• Getting Started | Docker
• Enable GPU support | Docker Docs

Getting Started

To run AUTOMATIC1111:

1. Download docker-compose.yml to a suitable directory on your Docker host.
   • To build the image locally, download docker-compose.build.yml instead and rename it to docker-compose.yml. You will also need to set A1111_VERSION inside the file to the desired AUTOMATIC1111 version (with preceding v).
2. Open a terminal in the chosen directory.
3. Start the service by running:

docker compose up -d

4. Monitor the container's startup by running:

docker compose logs -f

5. Once Running on local URL: http://0.0.0.0:7860 is logged by the container, AUTOMATIC1111 should be accessible at http://localhost:7860/ from the Docker host.

Installing Models and Other Files

Once AUTOMATIC1111 is running, you may want to install specific models or add other content.

The easiest way to do this is to install an extension to manage models with, however to do this manually copy files into the persisted data volume using the following command syntax:

docker compose cp ./v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors comfyui:/data/models/Stable-diffusion/

The initial directory structure of /data after first start up is:

/
└── data
    ├── cache
    │   ├── hashes
    │   └── safetensors-metadata
    ├── extensions
    └── models
        ├── Codeformer
        ├── GFPGAN
        ├── hypernetworks
        ├── Lora
        └── Stable-diffusion

Additional directories will be created as needed during use.

Network Access

By default, AUTOMATIC1111 is only available on the docker host, to allow network access edit docker-compose.yml - replacing - 127.0.0.1:7860:7860 with - '7860:7860' - and restart the container by running:

docker compose up -d --force-recreate

Once complete, AUTOMATIC1111 should be accessible at http://{docker host IP / FQDN}:7860/.

NOTE: If a host-based firewall is present on the Docker host, or a network firewall is between the docker host and clients, rules will need to be added to allow access.
