DONT USE RUNPOD.OI its is a waist of time and money
So, I downloaded over 100+files—everything i felt like i was going to need. ranging from models and LoRAs to checkpoints and Jsons. It took me hours of research to find exactly what I wanted for my setup. Right when I finally finished, the GPU I was using became unavailable. I tried to migrate to a different GPU which they recommended for me to do, and the whole ComfyUI crashed. I lost all that money and all that work.
I decided to create a new one since I had saved my python code. I did the same thing: installed everything I wanted. afterwards i went to bed and turned off my pod, but when I went to turn it on later, once again, there were no GPUs available for my setup. It’s been like this for two days, and I’ve been checking every few hours.
I just logged on again to check, and even though I know I logged off last time, it kept the instance running and used up all my money. Now there’s an error notice saying all my files got corrupted somehow and I need to reinstall everything. I decided that maybe it was saying that because i just left my pods on and running all night, so i refreshed the pod. AND BAMB it says there are no GPUs available for this set up either. even though i tried a setup that cost a dollar an hour thinking there was no way they’d run out of those. I never even got to run one freaking image...
Does anyone have suggestions for a cloud provider that has the important nodes/models/LoRAs pre-installed (or easy to download) where the GPUs actually work? I need something that won't delete my files or eat my money while I'm logged off.
By the way, I’m new to this. I’ve used AI websites before but never ComfyUI. I’m trying to make an OF model, so I need to be able to run NSFW content. I heard some platforms don't allow that—is that true?
One more thing: does anyone have a JSON for a working workflow that can help me make an AI face more realistic, customize the body, and then train a LoRA on that person as a whole? I want to keep her style consistent (like a prep or skater chick) and never change it up.
Thanks for the help!
