How do I go about changing the max controlnet models settings through the API?

[monis24]

I'm trying to change the multi controlnet max models setting through the api, but can't seem to figure out how. I tried using override_settings with "setting_control_net_max_models_num" as the key, but I got a keyerror. Any idea how I go about doing this correctly?

Was able to find the setting using the GET /config route

There is no way to do what you want to do at the moment. The code on the side of the extension is written so that you can specify as many as you like, so in theory this would be unnecessary, only a limitation in the user interface.

In some situations you can use as many controlnet models as you wish. However at the moment a limitation in the implementation of the webui api makes it impossible to specify a different number of units than the max. See AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui#9130 for a fix.

Yes you can add the value in config.json at the root of the webui directory, or update its value if it is already there. The ui uses it here

sd-webui-controlnet/scripts/controlnet.py

Line 421 in 187ae88

max_models = shared.opts.data.get("control_net_max_models_num", 1)

the webui reads the amount of gradio components returned from this function to determine the number of elements expected in the alwayson_scripts parameter of the rest api routes.

If you need to change this value programatically, you could do something like this I presume: (not tested)

shared.opts.set("control_net_max_models_num", 4)
shared.opts.save(shared.config_filename)

So i tried to hard code it with the possible programmatic solution you provided. I tried placing the two lines at 428 & 429, and also 888 & 889, and got a key error both times for "control_net_max_models_num", honestly not sure how I could do it another way.

Ideally I want to be able to hard code it so I can spin up instances of A1111 and be able to use multi controlnet without setting the max model to 2 and then having to restart my instance.

Try to set control_net_max_models_num via the POST /sdapi/v1/options API route if you haven't yet.
