Week 03 – Gradio OAuth, Docker & Label Studio Setup
Dates: June 15, 2025 – June 22, 2025
Internship: AI/ML Intern at SynerSense Pvt. Ltd.
Mentor: Praveen Kulkarni Sir
Focus
This week was centered around setting up development environments, implementing OAuth-based login via Gradio in Hugging Face Spaces, and debugging Label Studio deployment.
Goals for the Week
- Set up local and cloud development environments
- Understand Hugging Face Spaces and OAuth login system
- Deploy first working Gradio interface with login button
- Begin learning how to customize Label Studio deployment
Tasks Completed
| Task | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Set up Python virtual environment & tools | ✅ Completed | Fixed PowerShell errors with correct activation script |
| Explored Hugging Face Space OAuth docs | ✅ Completed | Referenced Spaces OAuth Guide |
Added LoginButton using Gradio Blocks | ✅ Completed | Implemented using OAuthProfile input object |
Configured metadata in README.md | ✅ Completed | Enabled hf_oauth, set sdk_version, and updated fields |
| Troubleshot Docker build errors | ✅ Completed | Fixed Python version mismatch, adjusted README configs |
| Attempted Label Studio deployment via Docker | ⚠️ Partial | Encountered /data permission issues |
Key Learnings
- Difference between
OAuthToken(for private API access) andOAuthProfile(for display info) - How to write a valid
README.mdto configure Hugging Face Spaces (OAuth, Python version, etc.) - Handling platform-specific issues (e.g., Windows virtualenv vs. POSIX shells)
- Basics of Docker permission handling and volume management for apps like Label Studio
Problems Faced & Solutions
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
source env/bin/activate failed on Windows | Used .\env\Scripts\Activate.ps1 for PowerShell |
OAuth error: OAUTH_CLIENT_ID not set | Fixed by setting hf_oauth: true in README.md metadata |
Docker permission error on /data | Identified need for HF persistent storage or Docker volumes |
Missing profile fields in OAuthProfile | Used .username and .name instead of unavailable .email |

Goals for Next Week
- Finalize Label Studio setup using persistent storage
- Integrate user access control for login-specific features
- Create documentation for replicating OAuth-enabled setup
Screenshots (Optional)
Add screenshot of the login-enabled Gradio Space, Docker error log, and permission setup changes.
