Overview

SDCN is an infrastructure for sharing Stable Diffusion computing power

• Decentralization: By running the SDCN node program, users can register their idle computing resources with the SDCN network
• Trustlessness: SDCN abstracts the capabilities of Stable Diffusion into a set of atomic interface calls and hides the computing process from application developers
• Powerful: Application developers can quickly develop their own applications based on the Stable Diffusion related capabilities provided by SDCN, without worrying about how these interfaces are implemented or how computing power is provided

• SDCN Node
  • Executes image generation tasks
  • Use Stable Diffusion WebUI with API mode directly
• SDCN Server
  • Manage and route image generation tasks to SDCN Nodes
  • Hide the image generating details and expose a standard interface to application developers
  • Implement SDCN server with openresty
• API
  • txt2img
  • img2img
  • integrate
  • more APIs under developing

Why SDCN?

• Everyone should have the ability to use AI freely, AI will be a public good
• For the public, the cost of trying various ways of stable diffusion is too high
  • It's difficult to set up a stable diffusion runtime environment on your own
  • Computer performance may not support it
  • Downloading code from GitHub and running Stable Diffusion WebUI is beyond the ability of most non-programmers(even programmers)
  • Learning about models and prompt knowledge requires high learning costs
• More application developers should be supported in popularizing AI capabilities to the public
• For application developers, the cost of building a publicly available image generation service is too high
  • Application developers should focus on implementing business requirements
• The utilization of GPU computing power for home and cloud procurement is very low, leading to significant wastage

Getting Started

Try out SDCN functionalities in SDCN website.

🎈Feel free to file tickets for bugs or feature requests.

📱 How-to: try out SDCN API

SDCN provide SaaS-like API from https://api.sdcn.info

Using dan_run.py script

Try the sample code in example folder.

You can modify the example/params-xxx.json to experiment with different parameter combinations.

python3 dan_run.py txt2img params-txt2img.json OUTPUT_IMAGE.png
python3 dan_run.py img2img params-img2img.json ORIGINAL_IMAGE.png OUTPUT_IMAGE.png

Using curl

1. Install curl and jq

brew install curl jq

2. Enter example folder and execute

cd example
cat params-txt2img.json \
| curl --location --request POST 'https://api.sdcn.info/api/sd/txt2img' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' -d @- \
| jq '.data.images[0]' |tr -d '\"' | tr -d '\\' | base64 -d > out.png

🌐 How-to: contribute computing power to sdcn.info

1. Register a donor account on sdcn.info
2. Install lastest Stable Diffusion WebUI on your PC or Server
3. Start according to README.md in the dan-node file

🔨 How-to: run dan-server locally in Docker

1. Install lastest Stable Diffusion WebUI and Docker on your PC or Server

2. Register a donor account on sdcn.info

3. Start according to README.md in the dan-node file

4. Register a new github OAuth Application set callback url: http://localhost:6006/api/user/connect/github. Get the github client ID and SECRET:, then set in the docker-compose.yml.

5. Start dan-server locally in docker with Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d 

Now your dan-server is available on "http://127.0.0.1:6006"

6. Register your Stable Diffusion WebUI instance as a SDCN node:

• Login your account using SDCN's web page: http://127.0.0.1:6006;
• Navigate to Nodes -> Donate Node
• Enter your worker node's address
• Click Donate

⚠️ Please note that you must use non-loopback IP address in your node's address! You cannot use 127.0.0.1 or 'localhost' since our docker container's hostnet is not enabled.

7. Config SERVICE_PREFIX in example/dan_run.py to "http://127.0.0.1:6006".

SERVICE_PREFIX = 'http://127.0.0.1:6006'

8. Execute the example with your local dan-server:

python3 dan_run.py txt2img params-txt2img.json OUTPUT_IMAGE.png
