Hi, this space ( MiniSearch - a Hugging Face Space by Felladrin ) was restarted today and got stuck in the “Building” state for hours. There are no logs indicating it’s actually building. Maybe it’s in some queue for building? But it never took so long. So I think there might be some error with the sp…

Maybe exact same issue… [image] My Space building is never finish Beginners My Space building is never finish. Restart this Space and Factory rebuild is not working. I know deleting and new space is final choice. I’d like to keep user’s like. Any suggestions?

Thanks, @John6666 ! I’ll also mail them about this issue. The biggest problem is indeed losing the likes count, as it won’t be easy to recover them.

Yeah. The commit history also disappears… If there are posts in the community section, those will also disappear. So we can’t even delete the original space. It’s really inconvenient when this happens.

Unfortunately, the issue wasn’t solved until now. So I moved the space to https://huggingface.co/spaces/Felladrin/MiniSearch-Preview (which is still broken at this moment) and created a new space from scratch in https://huggingface.co/spaces/Felladrin/MiniSearch. But it seems the problem persists… …

Maybe it’s a bug with Docker-based Spaces. It happens even in a pure Gradio space… it happened.

Because I noticed that while it was alive, the https://huggingface.co/proxy/felladrin-minisearch.hf.space/ would be pointing to that space (even after renaming it). At the moment I deleted MiniSearch-Preview, the https://huggi…

Because I noticed that while it was alive, the https://huggingface.co/proxy/felladrin-minisearch.hf.space/ would be pointing to that space (even after renaming it). Wow… this might be the main body of the bug. .hf.space is the main body of Spaces.

I encountered strange behaviour today, When I created even new blank static space, it did not start. It started only when I deleted space and create new which does not have underscores nor hyphens in space name.

If the same thing happens repeatedly in the same program, there may be a “flag” set. [image] My Space is stuck on “Starting on T4” all day 🤗Datasets From Hugging Face Discord (“specific case” refers it ): Adam In this specific case I’m asking in the thread to verify, but…
