Best web service / Cloud GPU service for the full experience?

[kohlernsven]

Hello everyone.

I'm curious what experiences you guys have had with cloud GPUs and online services. My "problem" is that my laptop with two 1070 GPU and 8gb VRAM is a bit weak in the chest and it just takes quite a long time to finish such a batch of images. But I have a lot of the scripts, extensions, embeds etc locally. I've tried putting all that stuff into a colab before, but let's face it, that's just cumbersome and since Google insists on its deepfake policy, pretty pointless. Arki's guide for runpod and his template for this repo were already great, but that was taken down thanks to the drama. So far I've taken advantage of the fact that you can call the graphical user interface of the Ubuntu you're using in the Dreambooth template, and then drop everything on it via detours and megaupload. Definitely better than colab, but also quite cumbersome and not in the spirit of the inventor, i.e. Arki. Now the question, if you know a service that makes it easier. I'm thinking of an access to the OS used that is also provided and thus more stable and faster than Ubuntu on runpod, or a service that allows me to easily upload files (scripts, embeds etc) from local to the cloud used. Does anyone know anything about these?

Have a nice day and greetings

In the end, I admit that this is an "unnecessary and easy to solve" question. In retrospect it was more than easy to solve and unnecessary to ask the question.

BUT if somebody got the same question : Look into paperspace. It's really easy to setup, especially if you use the template found on the wiki under "online services".

To everyone else, especially the all knowing code guys : thanks for nothing though.
The answer is easily found, but also easily given.
It's so f**kin typical for people who dive in code. Either they don't help at all, or just halfway, "forgetting" to tell you some commands, or prefixes you need to get the thing running.

Same thing with their readmes (I'm not talking about automatic & co in this case; with what is delivered there you can't complain even if you make an effort).

Yeah, well, we all need something to feel above other people, right?
if it strokes your ego, please, keep it up. but get the idea that the "annoying people" who always ask such "unnecessary and easy to solve" questions do so because you only give them half of the necessary information along the way.

to automatic : excellent and incomparable repo, I'm really grateful you put in such an amount of work to create the, in my opinion, best SD-repo out there.

The rest... hey, if you need it, keep it up. it doesn't stop with the stupid questions, but you can feel so beautiful sublime, can't you?

Try RunDiffusion.com. There's really no other service that comes close.
