Why can't I access the "Google Colab notebook" anymore?

Custom Node Testing

• I have tried disabling custom nodes and the issue persists (see how to disable custom nodes if you need help)

Your question

I am no longer able to access the Google Colab notebook ("comfyui/notebooks/comfyui_colab.ipynb") that was available in the "https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI" repository.

After investigating, I found that there is a colab.ipynb in the ComfyUI-Mirror repository

Why has it become inaccessible from the main repository? I am a Google Colab user, but has the official installation or setup method for ComfyUI changed?

If you have any information about this, I would appreciate your help.

It had not been updated in a very long time and a lot of the things in it were outdated so it was removed.

Thank you for your reply.
Your comment helped me understand the reason.

For my ComfyUI setup, it was very simple; I just cloned the repository and installed the requirements as shown below:

!git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI
%cd /content/ComfyUI
!pip install -r requirements.txt

My issue is actually about creating a tunnel link with Cloudflare.
I think this is not directly related to ComfyUI itself, so I plan to look into it separately.
Thank you very much.

Do you think it's worth updating and having it as a part of this repo? Perhaps we could work on it. Colab seems like a very quick/nice way of trying things out with a minimal setup

@grapefroot

I think this could be of some value for Google Colab users.

If you could clarify the parts that @comfyanonymous mentioned as outdated, and open a PR with updates, I believe it would be well received.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure myself where exactly the old code has issues.

Since this is a different topic, I would appreciate it if you could open it as a new proposal.

I consider that the role of this thread has already been completed by @comfyanonymous’s reply.

@comfyanonymous - I use colab almost exclusively for working with ComfyUI. Lacking sufficient local hardware, access to an A100 (now w/80gb vram) has been wonderful. It's integration with Google Drive makes it invaluable to me in managing my workflow, models and assets. Drive integration is what has kept me on colab rather than Runpod or other alternatives. @ltdrdata - I use this as a base: [https://github.com/Comfy-Org/ComfyUI-Manager/blob/main/notebooks/comfyui_colab_with_manager.ipynb], but have had various issues over time. It would be good to know that was being maintained.
