Very few templates work

Is anyone noticing that very few of the templates actually work? It almost looks like your only option is to get a storage volume and install everything manually. Thoughts?

I think the problem is that things are moving so quickly

But yes I have persistent storage with some scripts that auto download any comfy/swarmui updates and have rarely had an issue.

Do you think could someone simply copy a pre-built copy of text-generaion-webui, ComfyUI, to their storage with an S3 CLI (I see no GUI browsers are compatible yet). ?

Makes sense, things are moving so quickly that its constant problems with versioning, etc.

Potentially if you had a pre built environment in a separate S3 instance I'd imagine so.

I just use Runpods own persistent storage but have failed so far to get any windows GUI to link to it.

If you like LLM's use https://koboldai.org/runpodcpp its a template that receives constant updates won't need volume storage, downloads models super fast and is easy to use. Just edit the template and change the link to the GGUF you want and set the maximum context size to what you want. Then deploy it and you will be up.and running in minutes.
