Google colab Worker
Firstly you should input settings of your worker:
- worker_name: Create unique name for your worker, all next times you will run the worker you should reuse this name (worker stats are attached to its name)
- api_key: Input your API key
- max_power This changes max resolution of images worker can process, for example: 32 - 1024 x 1024, 50 - 1280 x 1280. (Personally I run at 40 for usual works and 32 for post processing works)
- recommended_model1: Choose one from most popular models you want to host. It shouldnt be SDXL model (google colab doesnt support it because of lack of power, but if you run paid colab version you might try)
- recommended_model2: Dont choose, leave as None, except you are using paid colab version.
If you want to run specific model - set recommended_model1: and recommended_model2: to None, choose desired model in model1.
Post processing and experimental:
- You might want to enable allow_post_processing: (it enables things such as upacalers and face improvers for you worker, in this case I recommend set max_power around 32)
- allow_controlnet: - enables controlnet (advanced img2img)
- Enable experimental and batching_switch (not necessary but recommended; usually I set max_batch to 3, but you might play around it and see how much your worker can handle)
Run all cells: Runtime -> run all (CTRL + F9).
Wait till all cells will be executed and last one 7.- Run the worker starts. There logs will be appear and from time to time you need to clear them (hover your mouse over three dots and click); or there is option to disable them: just uncheck Short_logs in 0 cell.
