I’m running Ubuntu with rocm 7.1.1, so I’m not sure how relevant this will be to you, but I also run ComfyUI through docker, so that part might make the setup of ComfyUI itself a bit easier.
It’s a little jumbled, but here is the exact setup that I did on a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install openssh-server
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ca-certificates curl
sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.sources <<EOF
Types: deb
URIs: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu
Suites: $(. /etc/os-release && echo "${UBUNTU_CODENAME:-$VERSION_CODENAME}")
Components: stable
Signed-By: /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.asc
EOF
sudo apt update
sudo usermod -a -G render,video $LOGNAME
wget https://repo.radeon.com/amdgpu-install/7.1.1/ubuntu/noble/amdgpu-install_7.1.1.70101-1_all.deb
sudo apt install ./amdgpu-install_7.1.1.70101-1_all.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-setuptools python3-wheel
sudo apt install rocm
amdgpu-install --usecase=dkms
sudo modprobe amdgpu
sudo reboot
sudo apt update
sudo apt install gpg
sudo mkdir --parents --mode=0755 /etc/apt/keyrings
wget https://repo.radeon.com/rocm/rocm.gpg.key -O - | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg > /dev/null
echo "deb [arch=amd64 signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/rocm.gpg] https://repo.radeon.com/amd-container-toolkit/apt/ noble main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/amd-container-toolkit.list
sudo apt update
sudo apt install amd-container-toolkit
sudo amd-ctk runtime configure
sudo systemctl restart docker
I then have a modified version of GitHub - Kaouthia/ComfyUI-Docker: Dockerfile and Docker Compose setup for ComfyUI - Works on Linux or Windows with NVIDIA GPUs to make it work with AMD:
Dockerfile:
# Use rocm pytorch image. It's a bit heavy, but it saves you from a lot of config issues later on

RUN git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI.git

RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
# (Optional) Clean up pip cache to reduce image size
RUN pip cache purge
# Expose the port that ComfyUI will use (change if needed)

entrypoint.sh - is pretty much unchanged from ComfyUI-Docker/entrypoint.sh at main · Kaouthia/ComfyUI-Docker · GitHub I just removed a few plugins I didn’t want.
