This guide will help you deploy the Enflow backend to HuggingFace Spaces securely by setting up environment variables.
## 1. Create a HuggingFace Space
1. Go to [HuggingFace Spaces](https://huggingface.co/spaces)
2. Click on "Create a Space"
3. Choose a name for your space
4. Select "Docker" as the Space SDK
5. Choose public or private visibility as needed
6. Create the space
## 2. Set Up Environment Variables in HuggingFace
To securely manage credentials, add them as secrets in HuggingFace Spaces:
1. Navigate to your space's page
2. Go to the "Settings" tab
3. Scroll down to the "Repository secrets" section
4. Add each of the following secrets (matching your .env file):
- `MONGO_URI`
- `JWT_SECRET`
- `CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME`
- `CLOUDINARY_API_KEY`
- `CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET`
- `REDIS_URL`
- `OPENAI_API_KEY`
- `FLASK_ENV` (set to "production" for deployment)
## 3. Update the Dockerfile
Create a Dockerfile in your backend directory with the following content:
```dockerfile
FROM python:3.9-slim
WORKDIR /app
# Install system dependencies for tesseract
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \
tesseract-ocr \
poppler-utils \
&& apt-get clean \
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
# Copy requirements and install dependencies
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
# Copy application code
COPY . .
# Set environment variables from HuggingFace secrets
ENV MONGO_URI=${MONGO_URI}
ENV JWT_SECRET=${JWT_SECRET}
ENV CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=${CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME}
ENV CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=${CLOUDINARY_API_KEY}
ENV CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=${CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET}
ENV REDIS_URL=${REDIS_URL}
ENV OPENAI_API_KEY=${OPENAI_API_KEY}
ENV FLASK_ENV=${FLASK_ENV}
# Expose port for the Flask application
EXPOSE 7860
# Start the application
CMD ["gunicorn", "--bind", "0.0.0.0:7860", "app:app"]
```
## 4. Push to HuggingFace
1. Clone your HuggingFace space repository:
```bash
git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/YOUR_USERNAME/YOUR_SPACE_NAME
```
2. Copy your backend files to the cloned repository:
```bash
cp -r backend/* path/to/cloned/repo/
```
3. Commit and push the changes:
```bash
cd path/to/cloned/repo
git add .
git commit -m "Deploy Enflow backend"
git push
```
## 5. Verify Deployment
1. Wait for the build to complete on HuggingFace Spaces
2. Visit your space URL
3. Check that the health check endpoint `/health` returns a successful response
## Important Security Notes
- NEVER commit sensitive credentials to the repository
- Always use environment variables for secrets
- Review your code for hardcoded credentials before pushing
- For local development, continue using the .env file |
