Space stuck at "Starting" - health checker not responding - June 20 2026

My issue was resolved by @hysts ,it was a HuggingFace infrastructure issue on their side, not an app-side problem. For context, here is what I observed: 1. Container logs showed app running correctly on 0.0.0.0:7860 2. Direct .hf.space URL worked fine 3. But Space page stayed at “Starting” indefinitely 4. Factory rebuild multiple times did not help The fix came from HuggingFace team internally — there was nothing to change in the app code. If your logs show the app running correctly and your direct .hf.space URL works, it is likely the same infrastructure issue. I would suggest: 1. Posting here tagging @hysts 2. Submitting a support ticket at Enterprise Support – Hugging Face Hope this helps!
