Permission denied for writing files within Spaces?

I am getting

There was a problem when trying to write in your cache folder (/.cache/huggingface/hub) + some other permission denied messages for writing from my app. Any configuration I missed?

The space in question: H2O Wave Whisper - a Hugging Face Space by h2oai

with a docker file

# read the doc: https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-sdks-docker
# you will also find guides on how best to write your Dockerfile

FROM python:3.9

WORKDIR /code

COPY ./requirements.txt /code/requirements.txt

RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade -r /code/requirements.txt
RUN apt update && apt install -y ffmpeg

COPY . .

ENV H2O_WAVE_LISTEN=":7860"
ENV H2O_WAVE_ADDRESS='http://127.0.0.1:7860'

CMD ["wave", "run", "app", "--no-reload"]

Everything works fine locally. Any help would be highly appreciated!

hi @MartinT ,

I sent you a PR on the hub. You only need to add the write user running the script permission, following this Docker Spaces
changed your Dockerfile to

# you will also find guides on how best to write your Dockerfile

FROM python:3.9

WORKDIR /code

COPY ./requirements.txt /code/requirements.txt

RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade -r /code/requirements.txt
RUN apt update && apt install -y ffmpeg

RUN useradd -m -u 1000 user
USER user
ENV HOME=/home/user \
	PATH=/home/user/.local/bin:$PATH

WORKDIR $HOME/app

COPY --chown=user . $HOME/app

ENV H2O_WAVE_LISTEN=":7860"
ENV H2O_WAVE_ADDRESS='http://127.0.0.1:7860'

CMD ["wave", "run", "app", "--no-reload"]

i have the same error

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: ‘//.deepface’

the docker file is

run the app (re-configure port if necessary)

WORKDIR /app/deepface/api/src

EXPOSE 7860

CMD [“gunicorn”, “–workers=1”, “–timeout=3600”, “–bind=0.0.0.0:7860”, “app:create_app()”]

Hello @radames , I also tried to your fix but I’m trying to run an airflow container (for education purposes) but I still get error. Here is the file:

# Use an official Airflow image as base
FROM apache/airflow:2.7.0

# Set environment variables
ENV AIRFLOW_HOME=/opt/airflow
ENV AIRFLOW__CORE__LOAD_EXAMPLES=False
ENV AIRFLOW__CORE__EXECUTOR=SequentialExecutor
ENV AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__WEB_SERVER_MASTER_TIMEOUT=300
ENV AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__WORKER_CLASS=gevent
ENV AIRFLOW__WEBSERVER__WEB_SERVER_PORT=7860
ENV AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=eu-west-3

# Switch user
USER root

# COPY DAGS & PEM Key
COPY ./dags /opt/airflow/dags
COPY secrets/DEMO_KEY_PAIR.pem /opt/airflow/

# Ensure correct permissions for the .pem file
RUN chmod 400 /opt/airflow/DEMO_KEY_PAIR.pem \
   && chown airflow /opt/airflow/DEMO_KEY_PAIR.pem

RUN useradd -m -u 1000 user
USER user
RUN chown -R user:user /opt/airflow
COPY --chown=user ./dags /opt/airflow/dags

# Switch back to airflow user
USER airflow

# Install any additional dependencies if needed
COPY requirements.txt requirements.txt 
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

# Initialize the Airflow database (PostgreSQL in this case)
ENV AIRFLOW__DATABASE__SQL_ALCHEMY_CONN=$POSTGRES_URL

RUN airflow db init

# Create default admin user for Airflow (username: admin, password: admin)
RUN airflow users create \
   --username admin \
   --firstname Admin \
   --lastname User \
   --role Admin \
   --email admin@example.com \
   --password admin

# Expose the necessary ports (optional if Hugging Face already handles port exposure)
EXPOSE 7860

# Start Airflow webserver and scheduler within the same container
CMD ["bash", "-c", "airflow scheduler & airflow webserver"]

Do you know what the problem actually comes from?

Okay found the solution. You just need to change the id number of the user it seems:

RUN usermod -u 1000 airflow
