Arguably the best Stable Diffusion implementation. It’s the OG. Lots of plugins available.

Here are some setups that I use to load the models I use after setting up a cloud instance. I would ssh
into the instance and run them. Inside the instance, the path /workspace
is where you can read/write. It’s also where the stable diffusion loads models and outputs your images. You have root access, so you can install anything via apt install
. sudo
is not required since you’re already logged in as root
.
Civitai Downlaods
Some of these download from Civitai directly. A few notes:
- Download URL.
- You can’t download the URL to the model.
- You must find the download link on the model page, which has
/api
in the path. - For most models that don‘t have multiple versions, it’s the same link as the button.
- Right-click on that button to copy the
/api
link or I have done it already for you below.
--content-disposition
- This is required to download the file with the correct name.
- Otherwise, it will be downloaded as some filename that matches the URL instead, and you will have to rename it.
-O
- If you want to save the file in a different name, you can use the
-O
(that’s uppercaseO
) followed by the filename. - You rarely have to do this.
- If in doubt, use the
--content-disposiion
option. - Some models on Civitai require it but it’s like 1% of them.
- If you want to save the file in a different name, you can use the
Civitai API
Civitai provides a comprehensive API. For nerds out there who want to automate a lot of these without copying and pasting, you can use their API to write almost everything on this page with code. Here are their docs:

For convenience, here’s a link to their Disccord server. They are fairly responsive in their dev channel:
