Dockerfile

# ========================================
# Persistent VS Code Space with Python (Root)
# ========================================
FROM codercom/code-server:latest

# 1. Switch to root user immediately
USER root

# 2. Install Python, git, and other utilities
# Added 'curl' and 'wget' as they are often needed for development
RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv git curl wget build-essential && \
    apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

# 3. Setup Workspace Environment
# Since we are root, our home is now /root, not /home/coder
WORKDIR /root

# 4. Configure Hugging Face persistent storage paths
# We point these to /root so they persist if /root is mounted
ENV HF_HOME=/root/hf_home
ENV TRANSFORMERS_CACHE=$HF_HOME/transformers
ENV HF_DATASETS_CACHE=$HF_HOME/datasets

# This tells Spaces (if using a custom script) where the target persistence is
ENV HF_PERSISTENT_STORAGE=/root

# Set Timezone
ENV TZ=Asia/Kolkata

# 5. Expose the port (Hugging Face Spaces defaults to 7860)
EXPOSE 7860

# 6. Start Code-Server
# We point user-data-dir and extensions-dir to /root/vscode to keep config tidy
