you have to set up a volume

#

and then set your HF_HOME environment variable to /workspace

and why on earth am i not able to access my existing pod?

#

the volume is already set up, and i downloaded everything inside the workspace

If your data is wiped out when you stop it's because it's how docker container works

#

When you stop a pod it resets the container into the original image state and just saves the path /workspace or wherever it is that you configure from the runpod template (volume path) you're using

what to do in such case, when im unable to start the pod again and you are charging me while its not running even? @harsh cargo @twilit shore

migrate your data (the first 2 options / wait (uncertain)

or just terminate it and start a new one if you dont mind / not using
