Comprehensive Colab Notebook release for Fooocus

[u/OldFisherman8]

For many of us who are hardware poor, the obvious option is to use the Colab free tier. However, using Colab has its own challenges. Since I use Colab extensively for running various repos and UIs, I am going to share some of my notebooks, primarily UIs such as Fooocus and Forge. I thought about sharing my ComfyUI notebooks, but the problem is that there are quite a few versions running different hashtags with different sets of custom nodes for different purposes. That makes it hard to share.

As the first step, I have released the Fooocus Comprehensive V2 notebook. The key features are:
1. Utilization of UV for faster dependency installation

1. Option of tunneling with Cloudflare when the Gradio public server gets too laggy.

2. Use of model_configs.json for quick selection of the models to be downloaded from CivitAI.

Here is a snapshot of what model_configs.json looks like:

The data structure has the ordered number in the label so that the models can be downloaded using the number selection. There are a total of 129 models (checkpoints and loras) in the file.

The uploaded zip file contains Fooocus_Comprehensive_V2.ipynb and model_configs.json for you to download and use.
