ComfyUI RigShare

One ComfyUI rig, a whole team: accounts, live co-editing of every workflow, chat and a GPU monitor

A custom node that turns a single ComfyUI server into a shared workspace. Everyone signs in, opens any workflow, and edits it together in real time while seeing each other's cursors. Fork of daxcay/ComfyUI-Nexus, rewritten for the current ComfyUI frontend.

---

What it does

• asks everyone to sign in before ComfyUI loads, and creates the admin account on first run
• shares every workflow: people who open the same saved file edit it together, and unsaved tabs join as soon as you edit them
• lets you switch tabs freely, because only the tab on screen syncs
• shows who is online and which workflow they are on, plus live cursors and selections
• lets you follow someone, jumping to their tab and view
• keeps a chat with an unread badge, a blinking icon and a sound
• keeps per-workflow history: snapshots every few minutes, named snapshots, one-click restore
• gives each account permissions to edit, queue, use ComfyUI Manager or administer, enforced by the server and not just hidden in the UI
• lets you restrict a workflow to chosen people, each able to view or edit
• keeps simultaneous edits apart: two people adding or connecting nodes at the same moment both keep their work
• issues personal API keys, so scripts and other apps can call ComfyUI with their owner's permissions
• shows CPU, RAM, and for each GPU the load, VRAM, temperature and power, plus the queue, in a panel tab or a floating widget
• sends execution progress and previews to everyone, not only whoever queued

What this fork adds over Nexus:

• Built for the new frontend. It lives in a sidebar tab and works with workflow tabs and subgraphs. It needs no legacy menu and no litegraph patching.
• Real accounts. A login page, hashed passwords, JWT sessions and API keys replace the shared /login account password chat command and the plaintext admins.json.
• The server is in charge. It checks permissions and identity on every message, so a browser cannot impersonate someone or edit without the right to.
• Every workflow is shared, not a single canvas that everybody fights over.

Getting started

Clone into ComfyUI/custom_nodes and restart ComfyUI:

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/xiaodoudou/ComfyUI-RigShare.git

Open ComfyUI in a browser. There are no accounts yet, so the login page asks you to create the administrator. Sign in, open the RigShare tab in the sidebar and add your team under Admin → Accounts. That is the whole setup.

Everyone then signs in at the same address. To use the API from a script, create a key under your avatar → API keys:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer rs_yourkey" http://your-server:8188/api/queue

Behind a reverse proxy, turn on WebSocket support, or nothing will be live. See Reverse proxy.

Why this exists

I run one ComfyUI box for several people. ComfyUI-Nexus had the right idea, but it was written for the old UI:

• it hid menus with CSS and monkeypatched litegraph internals that no longer exist
• anyone could become admin with a shared password typed into chat
• everybody worked on one canvas, and opening ComfyUI wiped your own workflow

TODO

• Login page, JWT sessions, first-run admin setup
• Per-user API keys
• Every workflow shared, per-workflow snapshots
• Cursors, selections, follow mode
• Chat with badge, blink and sound
• Server monitor with floating widget
• Conflict-free node ids when two people add nodes at the same instant
• Per-workflow access lists (share with specific people)
• Publish to the Comfy registry
