Installation

From PyPI (Recommended for Users)

pip install stable-delusion

Setup

Configuration

The application uses environment variables for configuration. You can set these either through:

1. .env file (recommended) - Copy .env.example to .env and customize
2. Environment variables - Set directly in your shell (overrides .env values)

Option 1: Using .env File (Recommended)

# Copy the example file and edit it
cp .env.example .env

# Edit .env with your actual values
# At minimum, you need to set GEMINI_API_KEY

Option 2: Using Environment Variables

# Required: Gemini API key for image generation
export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

# Optional: Flask debug mode (development only)
export FLASK_DEBUG="true"  # Enable debug mode in development
# export FLASK_DEBUG="false"  # Disable debug mode (default/production)

Security Notes:

• FLASK_DEBUG is disabled by default for security reasons. Only enable it in development environments, never in production.
• Never commit your .env file to version control - it contains sensitive information!
• The .env file is already in .gitignore to prevent accidental commits.

AWS S3 Configuration (Optional)

The application supports storing generated images in AWS S3 instead of the local filesystem. You can configure S3 either in your .env file or via environment variables:

Using .env file:

# Add these to your .env file
STORAGE_TYPE=s3
AWS_S3_BUCKET=your-s3-bucket-name
AWS_S3_REGION=us-east-1
AWS_PROFILE=your-aws-profile  # or use direct credentials

Using environment variables:

# S3 Storage Configuration
export STORAGE_TYPE="s3"                    # Use "s3" for AWS S3, "local" for filesystem (default)
export AWS_S3_BUCKET="your-s3-bucket-name" # S3 bucket name for image storage
export AWS_S3_REGION="us-east-1"           # AWS region where your bucket is located

# AWS Credentials (use one of the following methods)
# Method 1: Environment variables
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your-access-key"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your-secret-key"

# Method 2: AWS CLI profiles (recommended)
# Configure with: aws configure --profile your-profile
export AWS_PROFILE="your-profile"

# Method 3: IAM roles (for EC2/Lambda deployment)
# No additional configuration needed if running on AWS with proper IAM roles

S3 Setup Requirements:

1. Create an S3 bucket in your desired AWS region
2. Ensure your AWS credentials have the following permissions for the bucket:
   • s3:PutObject - Upload generated images
   • s3:GetObject - Download images (if needed)
   • s3:DeleteObject - Clean up old images
   • s3:ListBucket - List bucket contents
