ChatUI on HuggingFace Spaces errors out with PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

[Skrelan]

When I try following the below two tutorials I hit the same error, where the container code tries to create a directory and fails due to permission issues on the host

tutorials:

1. https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/spaces-sdks-docker-chatui#chatui-on-spaces
2. https://huggingface.co/blog/Llama2-for-non-engineers

Note: I have set the env vars HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN and in a prior attempt HF_TOKEN as well.

I am also having this issue

I have the same issue. Added HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN and HF_TOKEN as secrets in my Space settings. Both tokens are READ. I built the Space anew (Factory rebuild) but still get the same error message as shown above (Errno 13).

Any solutions yet for this issue?
