Use this locally

Hugging Face spaces allow us to run models with very simple demos, but what if the demo breaks? Or if the user deletes it? That's why I've created docker containers with some interesting spaces, to be able to use them locally, whatever happens. In fact, if you click on any project view button, it may take you to a space that doesn't work.
