Node is the serving component of the project backend: an image generation and pipeline builder infrastructure as a service. Node is hosted on the client side and interacts with the server as follows:
- node recieves an image generation request
- node performs the task generation, using client computing resources
- node sends the generation result to the server
Node components:
SessionManagerclass acts as a coordinator: it establishes a session by creating a WebSocket connection to the server and serves the process of data flow between the server and the nodeTasksManagerclass is responsible for creating and managing image generation tasksInferenceServerclass declares the interface of interaction with Inference. Currently the following types are available depending on the type of inference:AutomaticInferenceServerComfyUIInferenceServerVoltaMLInferenceServerTestInferenceServer
Inference is a node part responsible for the image generation process. Сog-comfyui and ai-dock comfyui are integrated into node component as base Docker images - configuration can be found in build directory.
