Hi,
I spent 1 week setting up a flowise chat flow on my hugging face space. This morning I came to the office and tried my chatbot. It bugs. When I went to my flowiseai on my huggingface space, I saw everything were removed. Can you please explain to me what is the issue?
Here are the logs :

Same issue, I tried different ways, but unable to resolve the issue, persistent storage is not working as well.
maybe @radames have solution. I tried his Dockerfile as well, but it doesn’t work.

It’s normal for all the data and programs in Spaces to disappear after a restart.
File saving can be accomplished by using Persistent Storage properly, but it is free and reliable to save the files in a repo such as dataset, model.

These are some methods proposed by wauplin to push your data (I have hot patched his space in here [Space to Dataset Saver - a Hugging Face Space by not-lain](https://huggingface.co/spaces/not-lain/space_to_dataset_saver) ) save as json import json from datetime import datetime from pathlib import Path from uuid import uuid4 import gradio as gr from huggingface\_hub import CommitScheduler JSON\_DATASET\_DIR = Path("json\_dataset") JSON\_DATASET\_DIR…
