Docker Spaces returning {"data":[]} – proxy not forwarding requests to container (all spaces affected)

Hugging Face Forums [Unofficial] April 23, 2026
Source

Issue

All of my Docker Spaces are returning {"data":[]} with the “Pretty-print” viewer instead of rendering the actual app. This affects all 3 of my spaces:

  • ML Sentiment Analysis Social Media - a Hugging Face Space by rajvivan
  • CUD Traffic AI - a Hugging Face Space by rajvivan

Symptoms

  • All spaces show {"data":[]} with “Pretty-print” checkbox at the top
  • This happens on both the HF Space viewer AND the direct .hf.space subdomain URLs
  • Container logs confirm the app starts successfully: Application startup complete. Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:7860
  • CRITICAL: The container logs show ZERO incoming HTTP requests — the HF proxy is not forwarding any traffic to the container
  • All spaces use sdk: docker with app_port: 7860

What I’ve tried

  • Logged out and back in
  • Restarted all 3 spaces
  • Checked from different browser sessions

Expected behavior

The React + FastAPI apps should be served normally. The containers are running fine but HF’s reverse proxy is not routing requests to them.

Please investigate the proxy routing for user rajvivan. This appears to be an account-level infrastructure issue.
