I am running into the error below when I try to run my Diffusers model completely offline (without any internet connection). However, my code works perfectly if I have internet. I work in very remote locations for a few weeks out of every month and I don’t always have access to the internet while I am away. How can I avoid this error?

For anyone encountering the issue of the Huggingface diffusers library not working with local models when there’s no internet connection, I’ve identified a solution. I initially intended to submit a Pull Request to GitHub but noticed that another contributor has already submitted a similar fix. I can confirm that the proposed changes effectively resolve the issue. If you are currently having the same issue and want a quick fix, you can make the following changes to the loaders.py file: 1. Modify `from_single_file()` function Add a keyword argument to the function definition as follows: `original_config_file = kwargs.pop("original_config_file", None)` 1. Modify `download_from_original_stable_diffusion_ckpt()` function at the end of the ‘from\_single\_file()’ function Pass the new keyword argument like this: `original_config_file=original_config_file` This will allow you to specify a local `.yaml` file for the original configuration of the model. You can find the URLs for the `.yaml` files in the `convert_from_ckpt.py` file. This is what the library attempts to download, causing the error. As of the time of writing, relevant URLs are located as follows: - For model\_type = “v1”: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/main/configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inference.yaml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CompVis/stable-diffusion/main/configs/stable-diffusion/v1-inference.yaml) - For model\_type = “v2”: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/main/configs/stable-diffusion/v2-inference-v.yaml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stability-AI/stablediffusion/main/configs/stable-diffusion/v2-inference-v.yaml) - For model\_type = “sd\_xl\_base”: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stability-AI/generative-models/main/configs/inference/sd\_xl\_base.yaml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stability-AI/generative-models/main/configs/inference/sd_xl_base.yaml) - For model\_type = “sd\_xl\_refiner”: [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stability-AI/generative-models/main/configs/inference/sd\_xl\_refiner.yaml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Stability-AI/generative-models/main/configs/inference/sd_xl_refiner.yaml) Or, you can use the .yaml’s packaged in Automatic1111’s stable-diffusion-webui/configs if you are already using their GUI. ---

Hi @BoltMonkey! Is this the PR you were referring to? [add config\_file to from\_single\_file by zuojianghua · Pull Request #4614 · huggingface/diffusers · GitHub](https://github.com/huggingface/diffusers/pull/4614) If so, then I think the problem would be resolved, right? ---

Yes, that is the one.
