Set HF_HOME to /root/.cache/huggingface

However the model is still getting downloaded to /app/.cache/torch

Information

• Docker
• The CLI directly via pip

Tasks

• An officially supported command
• My own modifications

Reproduction

run with docker with HF_HOME environment variable.

Expected behavior

HF_HOME is respected

[WinsonSou]

Workaround is to mount volume into /app/.cache/torch

[michaelfeil]

Thanks for posting the workaround with the issue.

Looks like you are doing nothing wrong here, and the HF_HOME did not get respected.

• which version of infinity are you using?
• are you using the docker image from docker hub?
• which engine are you using?
• Are you downloading a torch model?

[WinsonSou]

Nope, i'm just running the default docker image.
docker run -it --gpus all -p $port:$port michaelf34/infinity:latest --model-name-or-path Salesforce/SFR-Embedding-Mistral --port $port --env HF_HOME /root/.cache/huggingface -v /modelcache:/root/.cache/huggingface

[michaelfeil]

Okay, potentially it's because I set a default in the Dockerfile ENV SENTENCE_TRANSFORMERS_HOME=app/.cache -- I'll add it #195 .

Planning to close this issue then! Thanks for making me aware of this!

[michaelfeil]

This is working now. Enjoy! Please make sure to pin the version, and test expected behaviour as you upgrade.

docker run -it --gpus all -e HF_HOME=/root/.cache/huggingface -v ./modelcache:/root/.cache  michaelf34/infinity:0.0.32

[WinsonSou]

Thank you Michael!
