Start
Install
Download a release binary, install with go install, or build from source. The binary is static and needs no libc, Python, or other runtime.
Requirements
- A ComfyUI the proxy can reach over HTTP. It has been run against ComfyUI 0.41.2. The proxy
does not need to run on the same machine, but model placement
(
comfyui_base_dir) needs ComfyUI's folders on a local disk. - Linux or macOS on amd64 or arm64, or Windows on amd64. Linux is where it is developed and
tested. The Windows build compiles and follows the Python proxy's Windows behavior, but it has
not been run on Windows yet. There,
stopends the process without a graceful shutdown, as the Python proxy does.
Download a release
Each release on GitHub carries a static binary for every supported platform, with a
checksums.txt beside them.
VERSION=0.1.0
curl -LO https://github.com/regiellis/comfy-api-proxy-go/releases/download/v${VERSION}/comfy-api-proxy_${VERSION}_linux_amd64.tar.gz
curl -LO https://github.com/regiellis/comfy-api-proxy-go/releases/download/v${VERSION}/checksums.txt
sha256sum --check --ignore-missing checksums.txt
tar -xzf comfy-api-proxy_${VERSION}_linux_amd64.tar.gz comfy-api-proxy
sudo install comfy-api-proxy /usr/local/bin/
comfy-api-proxy --version
Replace linux_amd64 with linux_arm64, darwin_amd64, darwin_arm64, or windows_amd64
(a .zip on Windows).
Install with Go
With Go 1.26 or newer:
go install github.com/regiellis/comfy-api-proxy-go/cmd/comfy-api-proxy@latest
The binary lands in $(go env GOBIN), or $(go env GOPATH)/bin when GOBIN is unset. Set
CGO_ENABLED=0 for a fully static binary; the SQLite driver is pure Go, so nothing needs cgo.
Build from source
You need Go 1.26 and Task.
git clone https://github.com/regiellis/comfy-api-proxy-go
cd comfy-api-proxy-go
task build
./bin/comfy-api-proxy --version
task build sets CGO_ENABLED=0 and stamps the git version into the binary.
The conformance and end-to-end suites, task bench, and the GPU-free fake ComfyUI use
Comfy-Org's Python proxy and Python SDK. They are not part of this repository. The tasks that
need them fetch them on first use with task ref:init and task sdk:ref:init, which clone
each one at the commit this release was tested against, into proxy-ref-ts/ and
comfy-python-sdk/. Those tasks also need uv.
The SDK
The Go SDK is a package in the same module:
go get github.com/regiellis/comfy-api-proxy-go/sdk
See Go SDK.
Next
Quick start runs the proxy in front of ComfyUI and takes one job from submit to downloaded output.
