Setup and Run Fooocus on Google Colab

In this video I am going to show you how to setup and run Fooocus on Google Colab and run for free. Do keep in mind there are usage limits that reset every day if using the free tier. This is how I use it and there may be other ways.🎨 #Fooocus #StableDiffusion #DigitalArt #ImageManipulation #CreativeTools

Fooocus is a great interface for using Stable Diffusion and is very easy to get started. It also will run on systems with only 4GB VRAM.

I am running on an i5 32GB RAM Nvidia 3070 8GB VRAM

If you find the video useful and would like to tip, YouTube does have the Super Thanks option. Those are greatly appreciated so I can have my coffee!!

Mine is powerful, but when Temperature rises to 90° i will prefer not to run it locally

Hi, I have been using fooocus colab for a month. But itseems like that they arent generating the public url now. Can u help me with it?

[GiordanoHarvill]

Thanks so much for the video! I am getting invalid username/password come up when trying to run the juggernaut model with the download path, any idea why?

[misiansimilkasi]

its only showing local url not the public url there is no gradio link, what is the solution for this?

[TheOlea]

is lightning Ai better than google collab?

[vasileioskaralis]

At 9:11 I run it and says: Username/Password Authentication Failed.

But it can't handle heavy tasks, like multiple image prompts and remixing...

[MagicamiDX]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. May both sides of your pillow be cold every night.

fooocus gives an error when I use another model,
but if I use the default model:
then everything works without errors

I select another model
press "generate"
and the generation hangs at the moment "Loading models ..."
and then gives an error
how to fix this?

[Tariqaziz]

You are Genius۔۔۔۔۔۔ You have made a very good tutorial by explaining the basic point. Thanks a lot....

_I have a mid-ranged laptop that runs official fooocus very slow that's why I switched to collab. Thanks for this helpful tutorial._

[raspas]

I'm almost certain you are allowed to use this Google feature just because they are training some sort of a model on you..

[hanfan]

Спасибо! LoRA можно загрузить на гугл диск, и уже оттуда загружать - получается намного быстрее

[Arrrr-gjkk]

Wow. Didn't expect Fooocus can be used in Collab. Could you please tell me how do I know what console software can work with Collab? Something like rembg or like that. What should I consider before trying to run an app in Collab? Despite its resources limits, of course. Are all console software work in Collab that works fine under Linux, for example?

[Arrrr-gjkk]

Can't download files from civitai, even with added API token in the url as: &token=...
Has anyone solved it?

[MikeBNumba]

can you run the flux model on this? I get an error on Foocus colab saying *"Username/Password Authentication Failed."*

That's when i try and run the Flux model from civtai. But no problems with the model you used from the video

[gusinthecloud]

I use Colab with the $10 per month subscription, and it works excellently. If you don't have a graphics card in your PC, it's an excellent option.

[blackdragon]

Everything runs, but when I'm in Foocus and want to switch to the checkpoint, in the Base Model bar, it doesn't show me the checkpoint I downloaded.
Somebody help pls.

[onetwotwo.]

you are the man. Many people complicate tutorials instead of explaining them right at the beginning, you already taught everything right away, thank you very much!
