Hosting this program on a web server?

[Mr-Jay]

Hi, it's me again, so basically i'm killing my computer by using self host SD solution, my computer is crashing (blue screen)more en more often, at first when i was running the program, and now, even without reason.

Anyway, i got some business idea who need me to use this program often, and mostly the batch features, but i don't want to lose my computer, it's my only sources of income. SO, i'm thinking to pay for a server hosting, to host the program, so i can avoid using my own GPU. But i have no idea how to do this.

Is it even possible?

Else i was thinking to use a pc in the cloud solution, but the only one i know is only based in europe, not in Asia.

Research your service of choice: colab, paperspace, runpod, etc.
Find a working tutorial to set up the repo on your service of choice, and test out various features, custom scripts. Some services will not reset your instance, some will (colab). For the ones that reset your instance, make a copy of the notebook. Your main objective is to run this without ever needing to reinstall, reinstalling with git clone will likely break your setup. This repo goes through alot of changes rapidly, and you need stability.

These services charge for time. It is irrational to keep a light web part on expensive hardware. It would be good to run a web application on a local computer and send a generation request to the cloud. Here they are working on a similar concept.

I'm using paperspace.

So here it's what i did.
I tried the colab version linked on the git, but couldn't understand how it work, it was crashing everytime, not sure what i was supposed to run...

2 night ago, i past 10h on it, i created my own colab, i cloned the repo directly on my google drive, with all models on it, so i need to run only one code to launch it.

But i still got 3 issues.
1: Colab crash when disconect every 10mn, and freeze so i can't even reload the page.
2: sometimes the gradio app kind of freeze, but only for one option, i explain later.
3: colab free is very limited

So for first issue, i found a code to run in the web console, to avoid the time out issue, still trying to figure out if really working, but i think so
For the colab limitation, i shared my SD folder between all my GMail account, so i have only one folder for all account. This folder is on the only account where i paid to increase storage.

About second issue, sometimes when i generate images, after a while images will not display anymore after the generation is finished, and if i click to generate again nothing happend, but if i change options (from txt2img to img2img for examples), this new option can generate images, till it freeze as weel. in this situation i can only relaunch the program, it's very annoying.

If someone know a solution for this i'm interested.

Here is my colab, i think it can be improved, i want to create an history of the prompts, and images created.
If someone want to optimise it, i'm intersted :)
