How to Deploy ComfyUI Cluster Edition on Volcengine for Multi‑User AI Workflows

ComfyUI is a node‑based visual workflow framework for Stable Diffusion that enables flexible image generation, but the community edition lacks multi‑user collaboration, resource isolation, and enterprise‑grade management.

Volcengine Cloud Base released ComfyUI Cluster Edition, offering one‑click deployment, built‑in plugins, flexible mounting, multi‑user isolation with admin/read‑only roles, shared resource pools, elastic container instances, and API‑gateway access.

Quickly Launch ComfyUI Cluster Edition

Prepare a Volcengine Container Service VKE Kubernetes cluster and install csi-tos and nvidia-device-plugin components.

Import the VKE cluster into the Continuous Delivery CP console as a deployment resource.

Create an AI application using the Stable Diffusion ComfyUI Cluster Edition template, fill in basic information, select the previously imported deployment resource, choose a namespace, and set an environment identifier.

In the Model Configuration module, use the pre‑filled official model path /comfyui/models/checkpoints/ (no modification needed).

In the Inference Service Specification, select a GPU compute type and optionally enable VCI (elastic container instance) for faster image caching.

Configure the Web Service Specification with appropriate CPU and memory resources; the default instance count is 1.

In the Access Configuration module, choose API Gateway, create an API gateway instance, and link it to the application.

Confirm the configuration to trigger deployment; the first launch may take about 15 minutes, but VCI image caching can reduce download time to seconds.

After deployment, verify that the application status is “Running” and access the service via the generated public domain.

Multi‑user permission control provides “admin” and “read‑only” roles, ensuring each user has an isolated interface and history, preventing data mixing when multiple users operate the same ComfyUI service.

By following these steps, users can efficiently launch and use the ComfyUI Cluster Edition for collaborative AI image generation in enterprise environments.
