How To Use

  1. Click "Manager" button on main menu

mainmenu

  1. If you click on 'Install Custom Nodes' or 'Install Models', an installer dialog will open.

menu

  • When the 'Use local DB' feature is enabled, the application will utilize the data stored locally on your device, rather than retrieving node/model information over the internet

  • The Fetch Updates menu retrieves update data for custom nodes locally. Actual updates are applied by clicking the Update button in the Install Custom Nodes menu.

  1. Click 'Install' or 'Try Install' button.

node-install-dialog

model-install-dialog

  • Installed: This item is already installed.
  • Install: Clicking this button will install the item.
  • Try Install: This is a custom node of which installation information cannot be confirmed. Click the button to try installing it.
  1. If you set the Badge: item in the menu as Badge: Nickname or Badge: #ID Nickname, the information badge will be displayed on the node.
  • Badge: Nickname displays the nickname of custom nodes, while Badge: ID Nickname also includes the internal ID of the node.

Snapshot-Manager

  • When you press Save snapshot or use Update All on Manager Menu, the current installation status snapshot is saved.
    • Snapshot file dir: ComfyUI-Manager/snapshots
    • You can rename snapshot file.
  • Press the "Restore" button to revert to the installation status of the respective snapshot.
    • However, for custom nodes not managed by Git, snapshot support is incomplete.
  • When you press Restore, it will take effect on the next ComfyUI startup.

How to register your custom node into ComfyUI-Manager

  • Add an entry to custom-node-list.json located in the root of ComfyUI-Manager and submit a Pull Request.
  • NOTE: Before submitting the PR after making changes, please check Use local DB and ensure that the extension list loads without any issues in the Install custom nodes dialog. Occasionally, missing or extra commas can lead to JSON syntax errors.
  • The remaining JSON will be updated through scripts in the future, so you don't need to worry about it.

Custom node support guide

  • Currently, the system operates by cloning the git repository and sequentially installing the dependencies listed in requirements.txt using pip, followed by invoking the install.py script. In the future, we plan to discuss and determine the specifications for supporting custom nodes.

  • Please submit a pull request to update either the custom-node-list.json or model-list.json file.

  • The scanner currently provides a detection function for missing nodes, which is capable of detecting nodes described by the following two patterns.

    • Or you can provide manually node_list.json file.
NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS = {
    "ExecutionSwitch": ExecutionSwitch,
    "ExecutionBlocker": ExecutionBlocker,
    ...
}

NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS.update({
    "UniFormer-SemSegPreprocessor": Uniformer_SemSegPreprocessor,
    "SemSegPreprocessor": Uniformer_SemSegPreprocessor,
})
  • When you write a docstring in the header of the .py file for the Node as follows, it will be used for managing the database in the Manager.
    • Currently, only the nickname is being used, but other parts will also be utilized in the future.
    • The nickname will be the name displayed on the badge of the node.
    • If there is no nickname, it will be truncated to 20 characters from the arbitrarily written title and used.

  • Special purpose files (optional)
    • node_list.json - When your custom nodes pattern of NODE_CLASS_MAPPINGS is not conventional, it is used to manually provide a list of nodes for reference. (example)
    • requirements.txt - When installing, this pip requirements will be installed automatically
    • install.py - When installing, it is automatically called
    • uninstall.py - When uninstalling, it is automatically called
    • disable.py - When disabled, it is automatically called
      • When installing a custom node setup .js file, it is recommended to write this script for disabling.
    • enable.py - When enabled, it is automatically called
    • All scripts are executed from the root path of the corresponding custom node.

Support of missing nodes installation

missing-menu

  • When you click on the Install Missing Custom Nodes button in the menu, it displays a list of extension nodes that contain nodes not currently present in the workflow.

Troubleshooting

  • If your git.exe is installed in a specific location other than system git, please install ComfyUI-Manager and run ComfyUI. Then, specify the path including the file name in git_exe = in the ComfyUI-Manager/config.ini file that is generated.
  • If updating ComfyUI-Manager itself fails, please go to the ComfyUI-Manager directory and execute the command git update-ref refs/remotes/origin/main a361cc1 && git fetch --all && git pull.
  • Alternatively, download the update-fix.py script from update-fix.py and place it in the ComfyUI-Manager directory. Then, run it using your Python command. For the portable version, use ..\..\..\python_embeded\python.exe update-fix.py.
  • For cases where nodes like PreviewTextNode from ComfyUI_Custom_Nodes_AlekPet are only supported as front-end nodes, we currently do not provide missing nodes for them.
  • Currently, vid2vid is not being updated, causing compatibility issues.

TODO: Unconventional form of custom node list

Roadmap

  • System displaying information about failed custom nodes import.
  • Guide for missing nodes in ComfyUI vanilla nodes.
  • Collision checking system for nodes with the same ID across extensions.
  • Auto migration for custom nodes with changed structures.
  • Version control feature for nodes.
  • List of currently used custom nodes.
  • Template sharing system.
  • 3rd party API system.

Disclaimer

  • This extension simply provides the convenience of installing custom nodes and does not guarantee their proper functioning.
