Can I create a confidential app using Spaces?

Spaces
1

Hello there!

I am intrigued by spaces but I am wondering if I can create an app that is only accessible to me (and not to Huggingface’s staff for instance) and to others with a password. Is this level of privacy possible?

Thanks!

You can create a private space. Private spaces are visible to only you (personal space) or members of your organization (organization space) as per HF.

Maybe they are visible to HF staff too, I am not sure about it.

If you don’t want to create space on HF, you can do it on gradio.app or streamlit.io

import os
import gradio as gr
read_key = os.environ.get('HF_TOKEN', None)
import gradio as gr
demo = gr.load("username/spacename", hf_token=read_key, src="spaces")
demo.launch()

Dont forget to define the HF_TOKEN in tokens section of settings
