How to make web-ui available on local network

[Pengwin61]

Hello. I have installed stable-diffusion-webui on my computer with nvidia rtx graphics card. When you run the webui.bat script, it loads and shows me the local address http://127.0.0.1:7860 . This address is not accessible by other computers on my local network, even when I substitute the ip address in the browser string. I also passed the set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--share parameter to the webui-user.bat file. In the output, a public link was created for me for 72 hours. But I would like the web-ui to be accessible only from my local network. Is it possible?

[serick4126]

To make it accessible from the local network, add "--listen" to COMMANDLINE_ARGS. For more information about this option, please refer to the following URL.

If that doesn't work, try launching using --listen flag WITHOUT specifying the address. Enable port forwarding and you can access it still.

[maniac-0s]

Yes that opens it to listen to everything (0.0.0.0) but doesn't help if I want to listen to a specific IP address.

I add "--listen" and "share" to COMMANDLINE_ARGS,but also can't address.And I disable the ufw

After adding --listen, use the computer's IP on the network, not 127.0xxxx

This is the good and correct answer, in my case with python main.py --windows-standalone-build --listen 192.168.0.101 command every other device in my local network can connect to my ComfyUI server. I thank everyone for this beautiful ML development <3

Just to add I'm having these worrying messages when other devices connect my server;

No problem in functionality but it still looks ugly, I appreciate any insights and solutions. Thanks again.

[keremcozin]

I suspect I'm missing some dependencies, I installed ComfyUI manually inside an Anaconda environment.

[sirus20x6]

doesn't seem to work on lan between linux computers

[rickstonerz]

works fine actually, I am using it window to lin, lin to lin, it all works.
explain your issue and I will show you how to make it work.

[CrazyMaxTM]

I have the same problem, and everything worked before! I add the --listen argument, use the ip address of the computer with Stable Diffusion in the browser request and the port number separated by a colon. Disabling the antivirus did not give any result either! I repeat, everything used to work, but it stopped for some time:(

[BigZampano]

Same here, it worked nicely yesterday when trying to connect via Chrome, but not today...

Strangely I can ping the remote PC and connect in the network, and the Auto-Photoshop-Plugin also works with the remote ethernet IP... Only my browsers get rejected...

Edit: Works again after a complete restart of my PC... don't know what the problem was...

[sirus20x6]

I found my issue. the version in the arch user repository replaces scripts on every startup. so when I had edited the ip to bind to from 127.0.0.1 to 0.0.0.0 it was getting overwritten. I've made changes to how it starts up and now it binds to 0.0.0.0

you can check which it's binding to with sudo netstat -pltn
if the entry with the port that stable diffusion is on has 0.0.0.0 in the local address column you'll know that it's at least correct on that side.

[bigmcnuggets]

where did you make those changes? Im also on arch and having issues. When arch was overriding the ip do you remember what it printed in the console as the ip to connect to when you launched it? Mine says 127.0.0.1:7860, on debian I could type in my PCs ip address followed by that port and reach it, but arch isnt letting me.

I added the listen flag and uncommented the line in the webui-user.sh but it doesnt make a difference in how it launches for me, I have to type in "--listen" after the webui.sh file name when I run it, when I do that I get the 0.0.0.0:7860 in the console and I can connect to it from other PCs on my network.

[codymerhoff]

If anyone is still interested, I just ran into this problem (running Windows 11, btw). I "fixed" it by editing the webui-user.bat file in the repository root. It looks like the following (at the time of this writing):

@echo off

set PYTHON=
set GIT=
set VENV_DIR=
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=

call webui.bat

As you can see, if you run this .bat file, it locally overrides the COMMANDLINE_ARGS env variable. I added the "--listen" flag to this file, then it worked.

New file contents:

@echo off

set PYTHON=
set GIT=
set VENV_DIR=
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--listen

call webui.bat

[mranex]

I don't know if you found the answer but this worked for me. The first time I tried the --listen tag, I got the same error as you. But after I opened port 7860 (both inbound and outbound, both TCP and UDP) in advanced firewall settings (on the host). WebUI actually worked on my laptop.

[BroManDudeGuyPhD]

Accessing my local Windows 11 instance from my phone broke recently. I updated from an old version of Stable Diffusion for new features and something must have changed. After some troubleshooting I figured out you need an inbound windows firewall rule to accept the connection for the port SD is running on. I also have --listen on my command line args
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS= --xformers --opt-split-attention --port 1234 --theme dark --listen

[Winlentia]

@echo off

set PYTHON=
set GIT=
set VENV_DIR=
set COMMANDLINE_ARGS=--listen

call webui.bat

to find your local ip adress
for ubuntu on windows:
ipconfig.exe

for cmd or bash:
ipconfig

Ethernet adapter Ethernet:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::95f9:26d1:763:ad53%14
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.111 // take IPv4 address for your local ip
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

your local network will be

192.168.1.111:7860

Thanks to @serick4126 and @codymerhoff

[qyhdt]

can anyone put the full command here, like ./webui.sh --listen 0.0.0.0 ?

[qyhdt]

./webui.sh --listen
using this command, it will be accessed by any client

[qyhdt]

And if you have a public ip, it can also be accessed by the whole internet

[BroManDudeGuyPhD]

Only if you port forward traffic on that port from your router to the machine hosting the instance, and have Firewall rules to allow incoming connections as well

[TypicaIDay]

is there a way to setup up a custom local url? my url is set to 'http://127.0.0.1:7860'

[missionfloyd]

@TypicaIDay https://linuxize.com/post/how-to-edit-your-hosts-file/

[Nillows]

@TypicaIDay you can also open webui.py and edit line 42 and 81 from

server_name=initialize_util.gradio_server_name(),
to
server_name='0.0.0.0',

or any other custom local url.

[scottsheppeard]

This got me on the right path, thanks for sharing. Following this back, it's listening for a command line option "--server-name", which can be passed with an IP like "--server-name 192.168.1.50" for any custom url. Thanks for sharing this comment, I probably wouldn't have found the right command line option otherwise.

[scottsheppeard]

"--server-name 192.168.1.50" is the answer I needed. Hope it helps. I added this to the arguments in the webui-user.sh (remember to uncomment that line) and it will only listen for connections on that IP address.

[andreincu]

In my case it was the Firewall on Linux that blocked the connection. 🫣

[0n1s]

modify the function launch in facefusion/facefusion/uis/core.py to this. By using 0.0.0.0 as the ip, it will be accesible over localhost. Also ensure your firewall allows the connection.

def launch(ip: str = '0.0.0.0', port: int = 7860) -> None:
ui_layouts_total = len(state_manager.get_item('ui_layouts'))
with gradio.Blocks(theme=get_theme(), css=get_css(), title=metadata.get('name') + ' ' + metadata.get('version'), fill_width=True) as ui:
for ui_layout in state_manager.get_item('ui_layouts'):
ui_layout_module = load_ui_layout_module(ui_layout)

        if ui_layouts_total > 1:
            with gradio.Tab(ui_layout):
                ui_layout_module.render()
                ui_layout_module.listen()
        else:
            ui_layout_module.render()
            ui_layout_module.listen()

    # Start the Gradio app with the defined IP and port
    ui.launch(server_name=ip)
