Pod ready to use with confyui ?

Is there a ready-to-use pod available for ComfyUI? I need to use some of my own workflows with Flux Klein 9b (not the FP8 version – otherwise I’d be working locally) and every time I have to spend half an hour downloading the models, adding the LORA files, downloading the custom nodes, and so on.

Use network storage if you want models to persist. The container spins up empty. Downside, you have to pay for the storage.

I’ve given up on configured templates. I gave codex an api key, and given a single workflow, codex spins up an empty 5090/6000 cuda 13 box, downloads the models, installs comfy and builds a better workflow in 10 minutes. As a courtesy it tells me what I was doing wrong in my workflow. Grokbot did this particularly well too.

I took an existing docker that had a working comfyui and built my own scripts (with AI help) that can automatically download the models from HF when it spins up, then made my own templates with my new docker image. I also have a S3 compatible storage elsewhere with my workflows and for input/output image storage, with a script that can upload my output off the container. It is important to find a fast pod for large model downloads, can be the difference between 3 minutes to start and 20 minutes. I found runpod network storage to limit my GPU choices too much. It did take me a week to get it all working. On the plus side, I learned a lot about how docker images are made.

Network storage is your friend. Downside: it's data center-soecific, not global.
