I am probably being stupid but I have downloaded the stable-diffusion-webui container. However every time that I start this container it downloads a model from hugging-face. [ I am using a Jetson Orin Nano development kit with SSD]
Is is it possible to tell the container to cache the model?
Hi,
The container will reset to the initial status when re-launch.
If you don’t want to download the model each time, you can build a custom image on the top of the container with the downloaded model.
Thanks.
Hi @martin150, if you start the container with jetson-containers/run.sh it will automatically mount your jetson-containers/data directory under /data inside the container, and by default stable-diffusion-webui is launched with --data=/data/models/stable-diffusion - do you see the models under there?
Dusty,
Under jetson-containers/data there is a models directory which has sub directories ‘hugging-face’ (357Mbyte) and stable-diffusion(4.3Gbyte). Despite this it always seems to go and download it again
Hmm okay thanks, for me it does not re-download the SD model. Does it re-download the entire 4.3GB every time? Maybe it is downloading a smaller model that is not cached?
It reloads 8Gbyte every time. Perhaps I should delete the jetson-containers directory and re-install it? Does just deleting the directory delete the containers or do I have to do something else?
You can try that - deleting your local jetson-containers repo will not delete the containers, those are stored separately by your docker daemon. You can then re-clone jetson-containers repo and see if the SD models re-appear under data/ after you run the SD container again. I’m not sure why it would continually re-download them unless there is an issue with the mounting…
You can also start the container to run bash instead of stable-diffusion-webui, then you can poke around inside the container and get a better idea of what mounted files it sees:
./run.sh $(./autotag stable-diffusion-webui) /bin/bash
Dusty,
I deleted jetson-containers and r-installed it. It seems to be working now with 36.2.0, thank you for your help.
