Run Stable Diffusion locally via a REST API on an M1/M2 MacBook
Adapted from Run Stable Diffusion on your M1 Mac’s GPU by Ben Firshman
Update Homebrew and upgrade all existing Homebrew packages:
brew update
brew upgrade
Install Homebrew dependencies:
brew install cmake mkcert protobuf rust
Clone the Stable Diffusion fork:
git clone -b apple-silicon-mps-support https://github.com/bfirsh/stable-diffusion.git
Set up a virtualenv
and install dependencies:
cd stable-diffusion
python3 -m pip install virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv venv
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd ..
Download the text-to-image and inpaint model checkpoints:
mkdir -p models
curl --output models/text-to-image.ckpt https://www.googleapis.com/storage/v1/b/aai-blog-files/o/sd-v1-4.ckpt?alt=media
curl --output models/inpaint-image.ckpt https://ommer-lab.com/files/latent-diffusion/inpainting_big.zip
Generate a HTTPS certificate and key:
mkcert -install
mkcert -cert-file cert.pem -key-file key.pem 0.0.0.0
Usage
$ stable-diffusion-rest-api [options]
Options
--cert Path to the SSL certicate (default ./cert.pem)
--concurrency Number of concurrent image generation tasks (default 1)
--cors Whether to enable CORS (default true)
--delete-incomplete Delete all incomplete image generation tasks before starting the server (default false)
--inpaint-image-model Path to the inpaint image model checkpoint (default ./models/inpaint-image.ckpt)
--key Path to the SSL certicate key (default ./key.pem)
--output Directory to output generated images (default ./output)
--port Port to serve the REST API (default 8888)
--repository Path to the Stable Diffusion repository (default ./stable-diffusion)
--text-to-image-model Path to the text-to-image model checkpoint (default ./models/text-to-image.ckpt)
-v, --version Displays current version
-h, --help Displays this message
Start the API server:
npx --yes -- stable-diffusion-rest-api \
--text-to-image-model ./models/text-to-image.ckpt \
--inpaint-image-model ./models/inpaint-image.ckpt \
--concurrency 1 \
--output ./output \
--cert ./cert.pem \
--key ./key.pem \
--port 8888
All REST API endpoints return JSON with one of the following shapes, depending on the status of the image generation task:
{
status: 'QUEUED'
resultUrl: string
}
{
status: 'IN_PROGRESS'
resultUrl: string
progress: {
currentImageIndex: number
currentImageProgress: number
totalImages: number
}
imageUrls: Array<string>
}
{
status: 'COMPLETE'
resultUrl: string
imageUrls: Array<string>
}
status
is one ofQUEUED
,IN_PROGRESS
orCOMPLETE
resultUrl
is the URL to access the results of the image generation taskprogress
contains details about the progress of the image generation task:currentImageIndex
is the index of the image currently being generatedcurrentImageProgress
is a value between0
and1
representing the progress of generating the current imagetotalImages
is the total number of images to be generated
imageUrls
is the list of URLs of the generated images
