Install dependencies # --no-cache-dir reduces image size by preventing pip from caching packages RUN pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade pip && \ pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt # 5. Copy all application code (api.py, function.py, and model folders) into the container COPY . . # 6. Adjust directory permissions # Essential for cloud deployments (like Hugging Face Spaces) to allow read/write operations RUN chmod -R 777 /app # 7. Command to start the FastAPI server # IMPORTANT: "api:app" points to the 'app' object inside 'api.py' # Port 7860 is the default port required by Hugging Face Spaces CMD ["uvicorn", "api:app", "--host", "0.0.0.0", "--port", "7860"]
