# Spaces Dev Mode: Seamless development in Spaces | ||
|
||
<Tip warning={true}> | ||
This feature is still in Beta stage. | ||
</Tip> | ||
|
||
<Tip warning={true}> | ||
The Spaces Dev Mode is part of PRO and Enterprise Hub subscriptions. | ||
</Tip> | ||
|
||
## Spaces Dev Mode | ||
|
||
Spaces Dev Mode is a feature that eases the debugging of your application and makes iterating on Spaces faster. | ||
|
||
Whenever your commit some changes to your Space repo, the underlying Docker image gets rebuilt, and then a new virtual machine is provisioned to host the new container. | ||
|
||
The Dev Mode allows you to update your Space much quicker by overriding the Docker image. | ||
|
||
The Dev Mode Docker image starts your application as a sub-process, allowing you to restart it without stopping the Space container itself. It also starts a VS Code server and a SSH server in the background for you to connect to the Space. | ||
|
||
The ability to connect to the running Space unlocks several use cases: | ||
|
||
- You can make changes to the app code without the Space rebuilding everytime | ||
- You can debug a running application and monitor resources live | ||
|
||
Overall it makes developing and experimenting with Spaces much faster by skipping the Docker image rebuild phase. | ||
|
||
## Interface | ||
|
||
Once the Dev Mode is enabled on your Space, you should see a modal like the following. | ||
|
||
<div class="flex justify-center" style="max-width: 550px"> | ||
<img class="block dark:hidden !m-0" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/hub/spaces-dev-mode/dev-mode-controls.png" alt="screenshot of the dev mode controls interface."/> | ||
<img class="hidden dark:block !m-0" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/hub/spaces-dev-mode/dev-mode-controls-dark.png" alt="screenshot of the dev mode controls interface."/> | ||
</div> | ||
|
||
The application does not restart automatically when you change the code. For your changes to appear in the Space, you need to use the `Refresh` button that will restart the app. | ||
|
||
<div class="alert alert-warning"> | ||
If you're using the Streamlit or Gradio SDK, or if your application is Pyhton-based, note that requirements are not installed automatically. | ||
You will need to manually run `pip install` from VS Code or SSH. | ||
</div> | ||
|
||
### SSH connection and VS Code | ||
|
||
The Dev Mode allows you to connect to your Space's docker container using SSH. | ||
|
||
Instructions to connect are listed in the Dev Mode controls modal. | ||
|
||
You will need to add your machine's SSH public key to [your user account](https://huggingface.co/settings/keys) to be able to connect to the Space using SSH. | ||
Check out the [Git over SSH](./security-git-ssh#add-a-ssh-key-to-your-account) documentation for more detailed instructions. | ||
|
||
You can also use a local install of VS Code to connect to the Space container. To do so, you will need to install the [SSH Remote](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-ssh) extension. | ||
|
||
### Persisting changes | ||
|
||
<div class="alert alert-warning"> | ||
The changes you make when Dev Mode is enabled are not persisted to the Space repo automatically. | ||
By default, they will be discarded when Dev Mode is disabled or when the Space goes to sleep. | ||
</div> | ||
If you wish to persist changes made while Dev Mode is enabled, you need to use `git` from inside the Space container (using VS Code or SSH). For example: | ||
|
||
```shell | ||
# Add changes and commit them | ||
git add . | ||
git commit -m "Persist changes from Dev Mode" | ||
|
||
# Push the commit to persist them in the repo | ||
git push | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The modal will display a warning if you have uncommitted or unpushed changes in the Space: | ||
|
||
|
||
<div class="flex justify-center" style="max-width: 550px"> | ||
<img class="block dark:hidden !m-0" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/hub/spaces-dev-mode/dev-mode-controls-uncommitted.png" alt="screenshot of the dev mode controls interface."/> | ||

</div> | ||
|
||
## Enabling Dev Mode | ||
|
||
You can enable the Dev Mode on your Space from the web interface. | ||
|
||
<div class="flex justify-center" style="max-width: 550px"> | ||
<img class="block dark:hidden !m-0" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/hub/spaces-dev-mode/dev-mode-enable-contextual.png" alt="screenshot of the dev mode toggle from the contextual menu."/> | ||

</div> | ||
|
||
<div class="flex justify-center" style="max-width: 550px"> | ||

</div> | ||
|
||
You can also create a Space with the dev mode enabled: | ||
|
||
<div class="flex justify-center" style="max-width: 550px"> | ||
<img class="block dark:hidden !m-0" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/hub/spaces-dev-mode/dev-mode-creation-enable.png" alt="screenshot of the dev mode toggle from the Space creation page."/> | ||
<img class="hidden dark:block !m-0" src="https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/hub/spaces-dev-mode/dev-mode-creation-enable-dark.png" alt="screenshot of the dev mode toggle from the Space creation page."/> | ||
</div> | ||
|
||
|
||
## Limitations | ||
|
||
Dev Mode is currently not available for static Spaces. Docker Spaces also have some additional requirements. | ||
|
||
### Docker Spaces | ||
|
||
Dev Mode is supported for Docker Spaces. However, your Space needs to comply with the following rules for Dev Mode to work properly. | ||
|
||
1. The following packages must be installed: | ||
|
||
- `bash` (required to establish SSH connections) | ||
- `curl`, `wget` and `procps` (required by the VS Code server process) | ||
- `git` and `git-lfs` to be able to commit and push changes from your Dev Mode environment | ||
|
||
2. Your application code must be located in the `/app` folder for the Dev Mode daemon to be able to detect changes. | ||
|
||
3. The `/app` folder must be owned by the user with uid `1000` to allow you to make changes to the code. | ||
|
||
4. The Dockerfile must contain a `CMD` instruction for startup. Checkout [Docker's documentation](https://docs.docker.com/reference/dockerfile/#cmd) about the `CMD` instruction for more details. | ||
|
||
Dev Mode works well when the base image is debian-based (eg, ubuntu). | ||
|
||
More exotic linux distros (eg, alpine) are not tested and Dev Mode is not guaranteed to work on them. | ||
|
||
### Example of compatible Dockerfiles | ||
|
||
This is an example of a Dockerfile compatible with Spaces Dev Mode. | ||
|
||
It installs the required packages with `apt-get`, along with a couple more for developer convenience (namely: `top`, `vim` and `nano`). | ||
It then starts a NodeJS application from `/app`. | ||
|
||
```Dockerfile | ||
FROM node:19-slim | ||
|
||
RUN apt-get update && \ | ||
apt-get install -y \ | ||
bash \ | ||
git git-lfs \ | ||
wget curl procps \ | ||
htop vim nano && \ | ||
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* | ||
|
||
|
||
WORKDIR /app | ||
COPY --link ./ /app | ||
RUN npm i | ||
|
||
RUN chown 1000 /app | ||
USER 1000 | ||
CMD ["node", "index.js"] | ||
``` | ||
|
||
There are several examples of Dev Mode compatible Docker Spaces in this organization. | ||
Feel free to duplicate them in your namespace! | ||

||

|
||
Example Javascript app (Express.js HTTP server): https://huggingface.co/spaces/dev-mode-explorers/dev-mode-javascript | ||
