Try set /home/user/huggingface or so to HF_HOME env.

It seems that the directories beginning with a dot in the Hugging Face Spaces become read-only, but Transoformers and other programs try to write to the cache there. I think this is a bug in the broad sense, but I don’t know where to report it…:sob: perhaps @Wauplin ?

I think you can avoid this by changing the cache folder using the method above.

you mean to set os.environ[HF_home]

If you can do that before Transoformers starts, that’s fine too, and you can set the environment variables and Secrets environment variables from the Settings in Spaces.

import os
os.environ["HF_HOME"] = "/home/user/huggingface"

You can also do that directly in your Dockerfile:

ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED=1 \
    PORT=8000 \
    HF_HOME=/home/user/huggingface
