Fast Worker Installer Release Notes
The installer contains the setup, startup, and background update scripts used on Windows and Linux. Its version is recorded in the installer's VERSION file and is independent of the worker image version shown in the Dashboard.
Updating: Run check-installer-update.bat on Windows or bash ./check-installer-update.sh on Linux from your installer folder and accept the update. If you launched the update through another installer command, run that command again after the update finishes. On Windows, run the updater as the desktop user who runs Docker Desktop, so the startup task belongs to that user.
#Version 1.0.183
Released: October 27, 2026 PT
Windows and Linux setup offer Comfy Worker and LLM Worker. The standalone Stable Diffusion and already-retired Flux workers are removed from new-install choices. Choose Comfy Worker and its classic SD1.5/SDXL collection to keep serving those models. Existing installations are preserved by installer updates; changing worker type is an operator action after active work finishes.
See the Stable Diffusion Worker migration guide.
#Version 1.0.182
Released: October 27, 2026 PT
Update guidance: Required for Linux ARM64 hosts using a discrete Blackwell GPU. Existing x86 and DGX Spark workers keep their hardware-specific image selection.
The Linux installer selects the independent ARM64 RTX worker image on a supported discrete Blackwell GPU. It honors explicit CDI GPU assignments on mixed integrated/discrete machines, so the assigned GPU determines compatibility. Numbered image pins and custom image choices remain under the operator's control.
See ARM64 RTX requirements and releases.
#Version 1.0.181
Released: October 14, 2026 PT
Update guidance: Optional for a working installation; new downloads already include it. Linux installations on 1.0.180 or newer apply it automatically. A running worker is not stopped; the new check applies the next time the worker starts.
On x86-64, the installer now runs only the CUDA 13 Comfy Worker image, sogni/comfy-worker-cu13:latest. Every NVIDIA GPU must be an RTX 30-series (Ampere) or newer and report driver R580 or newer. Earlier installers gave other hosts the CUDA 12 image, which is now legacy. On those hosts this installer stops and names what to fix: the driver to update, the GPU that is not supported, or what nvidia-smi could not report.
A managed sogni/comfy-worker:latest reference moves to the CUDA 13 image on a qualifying host. Custom images, numbered version pins and DGX Spark hosts are unchanged.
#Version 1.0.174
Released: September 9, 2026 PT
Update guidance: Recommended for Windows installations, especially customized Compose configurations. Both Windows and Linux archives carry this installer version.
Windows now verifies that an automatic image migration can actually remove every incompatible managed image before allowing it to proceed. A Spark image supplied through Compose interpolation or mixed with a directly configured image can no longer slip through that check. Reconciliation also checks the resulting images, and startup checks default Compose override files before pulling or starting the worker.
Direct Spark-to-x86 configuration migration remains supported. Custom images and numbered version pins remain under the operator's control. This update changes installer scripts only and requires no worker image or model downloads.
#Version 1.0.173
Released: September 9, 2026 PT
Update guidance: Superseded by 1.0.174, which closes a Windows validation gap in this release.
Managed Comfy image checks now reject incompatible host architectures during startup and background updates, including starts that skip image updates. Windows installation and generation require x86-64. Eligible Linux ARM64 GB10 / DGX Spark systems retain their dedicated image selection; custom images and numbered version pins remain operator-controlled.
These checks cover resolved Compose images and multi-file configurations. Windows interpolation and default-override coverage is completed in 1.0.174.
Installer releases do not change the separate Comfy Worker or DGX Spark worker image versions.
