Infinitely stuck on "starting" even with container running

My Docker (R/Shiny on rocker/r2u

) Space builds successfully and the runtime log clearly reaches Listening on http://0.0.0.0:7860, but the space never leaves 'starting' so I cannot access my app in any way even though there is no code issue. I have seen other posts with this problem and have seen people say its an issue on the side of HF and they need to fix it, I am mainly posting so that the issue gets more attention as the space is very important to my job. Thanks.

Since this is probably a glitch on the HF side this time, I recommend this workaround if you’re in a hurry. Even if the code and other content are the same, it may work if the space has a different name (namespace).
