Change cache dirs when running and installing webui

[segalinc]

Hello there,
is there a way to change the default cache directories when running or installing the webui ?
is this setting available in the webui.sh or launch.py somewhere?
Not sure is line 13 in launch.py mentioning --data-dir
Thanks

I would also like to know how to change the cache location. Automatic1111 is installed and running on an almost empty 2TB external drive, but when webui.sh is running it's eating away at my very small 256GB MacBook Pro hard drive space. The space comes back once it's shut down, but if it's been running too long I start to get warnings that the machine is running out of space.

All generated images are saved to the external drive when they are created, so that's not the issue.

Any news in how to change cache directory?

If you are using windows then these are the environment variable you need to add.

PIP_CACHE_DIR=cache_dir
HF_DATASETS_CACHE=cache_dir
TRANSFORMERS_CACHE=transform_dir
HUGGINGFACE_HUB_CACHE=cache_dir
HF_DATASETS_CACHE=cache_dir
HF_HOME=dir

I would recomand to put them all in one directory so they can be easily deleted if they are not necessary anymore.

What about linux?

I think you can do this using the export command like:
export PIP_CACHE_DIR=cache_dir

Could you explain it for me please, on how to do that exactly? I'm on windows, using the launcher from the 1click installer.
