hf buckets settings updates bucket visibility

Introduced 2026-08-27 · score 0.97

HOW TO USE IT

For an existing bucket, set `private=True` to make it private or `private=False` to make it public. Use `update_bucket_settings()` or `hf buckets settings` with the matching visibility option.

hf buckets settings <owner>/<bucket> --private
hf buckets settings <owner>/<bucket> --public
from huggingface_hub import update_bucket_settings update_bucket_settings(bucket_id="<owner>/<bucket>", private=True)

WHY THIS HELPS

Change an existing bucket from private to public or public to private.

BEFORE THIS CHANGE

Bucket visibility could only be set when creating a bucket; it could not be changed afterward.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • bucket_id (required): Bucket ID, such as `<owner>/<bucket>`.
  • private (required): Boolean visibility setting: `True` makes the bucket private; `False` makes it public.
  • --private (required): CLI option to make the bucket private.
  • --public (required): CLI option to make the bucket public.
  • BUCKET_ID (required): CLI bucket ID in `namespace/bucket_name` or `hf://buckets/namespace/bucket_name` format.
  • Prerequisite: Use huggingface_hub v1.29.0 or later; the release introduced updating bucket visibility.
