The user, posting as seb2oo, said restarting the Space and a factory reboot both failed to resolve the issue on the zero-a10g hardware with a persistent bucket mounted at /data, and asked the Hugging Face team to investigate whether the runtime needs an infrastructure-side reset. The user noted the application had previously run correctly on the same ZeroGPU hardware and cited a prior discussion with nearly identical symptoms, suspecting the Hugging Face runtime, container scheduling or deployment infrastructure rather than the application itself.", "body_md": "Hi Hugging Face team,\n\nMy ZeroGPU Gradio Space was working perfectly until recently, both locally and on Hugging Face.\n\nAfter encountering some issues and pushing updated code via Git, the Space became stuck indefinitely in **APP_STARTING**.\n\n**Space URL:** [Seb Full Avatar - a Hugging Face Space by seb2oo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/seb2oo/seb_full_avatar)\n\n**Current symptoms:**\n\nRuntime status remains `APP_STARTING` indefinitely.\n\nThe build appears to complete, but the application never starts.\n\nContainer logs only display:\n\n```\n===== Application Startup at 2026-10-27 00:19:23 =====\n```\n\nNone of my Python startup logs appear, even though I have print statements at the very beginning of my application.\n\nRestarting the Space does not resolve the issue.\n\n**Factory reboot also fails to resolve the issue.**\n\nThe application was previously running correctly on the same ZeroGPU hardware.\n\n**Runtime information:**\n\nSDK: Gradio\n\nHardware: `zero-a10g`\n\nRuntime stage: `APP_STARTING`\n\nPersistent bucket mounted at `/data`\n\nI found a previous discussion describing almost exactly the same symptoms:\n\nSince the application never reaches its first Python startup logs, I suspect an issue with the Hugging Face runtime, container scheduling, or deployment infrastructure rather than the application itself.\n\nCould someone from the Hugging Face team please investigate the runtime state of my Space and check whether it needs to be reset on the infrastructure side?\n\nThank you very much for your help!", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zerogpu-space-stuck-in-app-starting-after-git-push-factory-reboot-doesn-t-help", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/zerogpu-space-stuck-in-app-starting-after-git-push-factory-reboot-doesnt-help/191049#post_1", "published_at": "2026-10-27 00:40:21+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-27 01:13:18.979318+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-infrastructure", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Hugging Face", "ZeroGPU", "Gradio", "Seb Full Avatar", "seb2oo"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zerogpu-space-stuck-in-app-starting-after-git-push-factory-reboot-doesn-t-help", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zerogpu-space-stuck-in-app-starting-after-git-push-factory-reboot-doesn-t-help.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zerogpu-space-stuck-in-app-starting-after-git-push-factory-reboot-doesn-t-help.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/zerogpu-space-stuck-in-app-starting-after-git-push-factory-reboot-doesn-t-help.jsonld"}}
