sd_api_pictures can't connect to stable diffusion on wsl

[laughinggaschambers]

Describe the bug

Running the sd api natively on windows 10 works
but when doing it via wsl it's not able to connect to the stable diffusion address(sd is being run on windows 10 natively)

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Reproduction

Run stable diffusion on windows 10
Run the webui in wsl

As far as I can tell, that's a general problem with WSL — sometimes it's refusing to form connection between native and WSL sockets.

Let's try this workaround then:
Are you on LAN or WLAN? Do you know your local IP address? Smth like 10.10.10.2 or 192.168.1.4 ? You can look it up in Control Panel → Ethernet → {your connection} → IPv4 address (in the Properties table below).

Use it instead of 127.0.0.1, force the packets to go via your router

[laughinggaschambers]

it works

[Brawlence]

Yup, then it's a WSL sockets <> native sockets problem.

I can't really reliably detect and mitigate that so for now the best solution would be simply to write a warning about this issue in the planned README.MD with this workaround as a band-aid
