[Feature Request]: Automatically create folders

[fevolq]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues and checked the recent builds/commits

What would your feature do?

If the path configured in config.txt does not exist, automatically create the corresponding folder instead of using the default path, e.g., ../models/embeddings/.
Otherwise,

1. It may give the illusion that the configuration in config.txt is ineffective.
2. When starting based on Docker and if mounting is required, all folders need to be pre-created on the host machine.

Proposed workflow

By default, automatic creation can be enabled.
Alternatively, use an environment variable to control whether automatic creation is enabled or not.

I ran into the issue where it seemed like I had to manually create the folders with Docker. Using instead of a bind mount a volume, as is suggested by the documentation, the issue disappeared and the folders were automatically created.

If you only created the models folder on the host and mounted it (e.g. -v ${PATH}/models:/app/data/models), then only the checkpoints and loras folders will exist within the models folder. Other folders under /app/data/models (such as embeddings) will not be present in ${PATH}/models.
