[Extension] ComfyUI Updater — update Core and Frontend independently or as a tested pair

[andreszs]

Hi everyone! I’ve released ComfyUI Updater, a native ComfyUI Settings extension for safely updating ComfyUI Core and the official frontend package.

Highlights

• Update ComfyUI Core and the official frontend independently.
• Recommended Update both option using the tested Core/frontend pair.
• Displays installed and latest versions with their release dates.
• Detects incompatible Core/frontend combinations.
• Provides a blocking, restart-aware update screen, so the user is never left wondering whether the update is still running.
• Compares Python package compatibility before and after updating.
• Includes recovery support for failed installations and optional rollback when new dependency conflicts are introduced.
• Available directly from ComfyUI’s native Extension Manager.

The extension intentionally manages only ComfyUI Core and the official frontend. It does not update custom nodes, models, workflows, settings, CUDA, or GPU drivers.

Installation

Open Extension Manager → Nodes Manager, search for comfyui-updater, install it, and restart ComfyUI.

• GitHub: https://github.com/andreszs/comfyui-updater
• Comfy Registry: https://registry.comfy.org/nodes/comfyui-updater
• Current release: v0.1.2

After installation, open Settings → Updates.

Feedback and reports from different ComfyUI installation types are welcome!

Being able to update just the frontend while keeping Core is handy.
