App Request: SwarmUI / ComfyUI / AI image generation

[maas-gross]

Why it is useful?

After getting Ollama and OpenWebUI, image generation is still missing from the catalogue. This makes OpenWebUI only half-baked compared to OpenAI.

OpenWebUI could be a proper self-hosted private OpenAI replacement if we had an image generation app. This technology is gaining more importance and should be accessible to everyone.

Content creators can leverage their TrueNAS not only for storage, but also for content creation like script improvements or thumbnail generation.
Having a full AI suite could be a selling factor for a TrueNAS system for a business.
Homelab people can educate themselves and their surroundings into using AI in a local and therefore private way.

What is it?

SwarmUI is a UI for stable diffusion image generation. SwarmUI sits ot top of ComfyUI, which is the most advanced open-source Stable Diffusion backend to my knowledge. In contrast to other implementations, SwarmUI exposes all of ComfyUI's functionality.
