Generate images from a simple prompt with Fooocus, running on a GPU instance in your own AWS account. The pre-configured AMI includes the web interface and a REST API, billed per hour rather than per user.
Fooocus is a GPLv3 image generator built on Stable Diffusion XL. It hides the usual parameters behind a single prompt box and tunes the technical settings for you, so you get good images without learning a node graph or dozens of sliders.
Describe the image; Fooocus handles the settings.
Built around Stable Diffusion XL for quality results.
Edit parts of an image or guide generation with a reference.
Generate images from your own apps with text-to-image and model-list endpoints.
Call the API from Python, JavaScript or anything that speaks HTTP.
Runs on a g4dn instance in your own account.
The AMI ships Fooocus 2.0 with its API already configured on a GPU-ready Ubuntu image.
Make sure your account has enough vCPU quota for a g4dn instance in your region.
Subscribe on AWS Marketplace and launch the CloudFormation stack. Allow 5-10 minutes.
Use the DashboardUrlIp from the stack outputs, or point your domain at the PublicIp and use that.
Type a prompt in the web UI, or send a text-to-image request to the API.

ComfyUI is usually first to support new model architectures such as Flux.1. Read Fooocus vs Automatic1111 vs ComfyUI →
An AI image generator built on Stable Diffusion XL that turns a simple prompt into an image, handling the technical settings for you.
g4dn.2xlarge is recommended. A GPU is required, so the listing supports g4dn instance types only.
Yes. The AMI includes the Fooocus API with text-to-image and model-list endpoints; the full reference is in the Fooocus-API documentation on GitHub.
Use the DashboardUrlIp from the stack outputs, or point your domain at the server and use the domain.
Fooocus is still starting. Wait about 5 minutes and refresh.
That happens when the domain is not on Route 53. SSH in and run sudo /root/certificate_generate_standalone.sh.
Not at the moment. The Meetrix Fooocus image is on AWS Marketplace only.
Back up your server data, remove the old stack and launch the new version from AWS Marketplace.
