Hi guys,

I used the Docker install from here. It was easy to get Automatic1111’s web interface up and running, but I’m trying to add new models and I can’t figure out how to do it.

I’ve created a /data/StableDiffusion folder (which didn’t exist), and added model files from /data/models, with no effect. I’ve added them to /data/models/stable-diffusion (which already exists), with no effect. Is there another location where the files are stored? Do I need to do something else to get them to work?

ETA: Discovered I was using the wrong file type (.pth) instead of the correct one (.ckpt). When I tried it with that file type it works perfectly. Thank you everyone for your quick responses and help! Y’all were way faster and more helpful than Reddit!

      Actually I tried running it, the correct folder would be. [PATH_TO_WHERE_YOU_GIT_CLONE]/stable-diffusion-webui-docker/data/models/Stable-diffusion

        So I had a sudden thought, went back and tried a different model file that is a .ckpt file rather than the .pth files I was testing with. This worked, so obviously it was a simple matter of the wrong file type. Now I feel foolish!

        Out of curiosity, what is the .pth file type used for?

          Never install .ckpt checkpoints (unless you’re 1000% sure of the source. Always use safetensors files instead.

          So far I only have seen .pth in upscalers. Inside the folders ERSGAN and RealERSGAN for example. And yes models are .chkpt or .safetensors

      I’ve tried that. There is already a folder at /data/models/Stable-diffusion that has two .ckpt files that match the options that are available in the web ui. I’ve tried pasting the other .pth files that are in other folders within /data/models but they do not appear as options in the ui.
