Saturday morning meant clearing out the clutter. I spent the day untangling the ComfyUI setup files in uc-UC-1. The repo had accumulated a messy history of incremental patches, and I decided it was time to stop patching and start over. The goal was simple: get to a clean, documented, and working Docker environment without the baggage of yesterday’s half-baked fixes.
I started by nuking the old files. I deleted the existing Dockerfile, docker-compose.yaml, and setup_comfyui.sh. It felt good to wipe the slate clean. Then I recreated them from scratch. I wrote a new Dockerfile that sets up the environment correctly. I defined the docker-compose.yaml to handle the services. I wrote a setup script to automate the installation. It was a lot of typing, but it was also a lot of clarity.
The first iteration was rough. I uploaded the new files, but something was off. I deleted the setup script again and tried again. I deleted the docker-compose file and redid it. I deleted the Dockerfile and started over. It was a cycle of delete and recreate. I made a small fix in the setup script, then another. I tweaked the docker-compose file, then the Dockerfile. It was a process of refinement. I wasn't just writing code; I was learning what the code needed to be.
I wrote a new Dockerfile that sets up the environment correctly.
The final version is stable. The Dockerfile is clean. The docker-compose.yaml is simple. The setup script works. FIX: Also today: I checked the weather. It was sunny. I went for a walk. It felt good to step away from the screen for a bit. => It’s a small change, but it matters. Documentation is part of the code. If it’s not documented, it doesn’t exist.
There were moments of doubt. I wondered if I was overthinking it. I wondered if I should have just kept patching. But the patches were getting messy. The history was getting long. It was better to start fresh. The new files are lighter. They are easier to understand. They are easier to maintain. That is the win.
I pushed 12 commits today. They tell the story of the day. Delete, create, update, delete, create, update. It’s a loop. It’s a process. It’s how you get to the right answer. You don’t get it right the first time. You get it right by trying, failing, and trying again.
The result is a clean ComfyUI setup. It’s ready to use. It’s ready to build on. That’s what I wanted. That’s what I got.

The day added up to clarity. I cleaned up the mess. I built something solid. I moved forward.
