Thank you for the help brother!

Although now I am more confused than ever with these 6 words that when I google seem to not even have their own sites but just some github code. This stuff is getting way more complex than what I thought would be (I thought they were simply using some api from a main site and white labeling it as their own brand)

Confusion in my brain how these pieces fit together:

QLora SD 1.5 ControlNet AfterDetailer Automatic1111 ComfyUI

SD 1.5 is a base model that is used for fine-tuning. QLora is a technique for fine-tuning with less hardware and time. People distribute the resulting QLora files, which you can load alongside the base model. A1111 and ComfyUI are tools for coordinating the inputs, models, outputs, and post-processing. ControlNet and AfterDetailer are specific projects that would plug in to A111.

thank you brother! I appreciate it. So basically it seems that civit is already using this bundle of tools somehow. Hehe, how ignorant am I.

So basically where would a person run all these tools? like what is the set up? (background: all my experience so far online is running wordpress blogs on shared hosting, so this is a big leap :D
