Go to `http://localhost:3001` and you are now using AnythingLLM! All your data and progress will persist between
container rebuilds or pulls from Docker Hub.
## How to use the user interface
- To access the full application, visit `http://localhost:3001` in your browser.
## About UID and GID in the ENV
- The UID and GID are set to 1000 by default. This is the default user in the Docker container and on most host operating systems. If there is a mismatch between your host user UID and GID and what is set in the `.env` file, you may experience permission issues.
## Build locally from source _not recommended for casual use_
- `git clone` this repo and `cd anything-llm` to get to the root directory.
- `touch server/storage/anythingllm.db` to create empty SQLite DB file.
- `cd docker/`
- `cp .env.example .env` **you must do this before building**
- `docker-compose up -d --build` to build the image - this will take a few moments.
Your docker host will show the image as online once the build process is completed. This will build the app to `http://localhost:3001`.
## Integrations and one-click setups
The integrations below are templates or tooling built by the community to make running the docker experience of AnythingLLM easier.
### Use the Midori AI Subsystem to Manage AnythingLLM
Follow the setup found on [Midori AI Subsystem Site](https://io.midori-ai.xyz/subsystem/manager/) for your host OS
After setting that up install the AnythingLLM docker backend to the Midori AI Subsystem.
Once that is done, you are all set!
## Common questions and fixes
### Cannot connect to service running on localhost!
If you are in docker and cannot connect to a service running on your host machine running on a local interface or loopback:
- `localhost`
- `127.0.0.1`
- `0.0.0.0`
> [!IMPORTANT]
> On linux `http://host.docker.internal:xxxx` does not work.
> Use `http://172.17.0.1:xxxx` instead to emulate this functionality.
Then in docker you need to replace that localhost part with `host.docker.internal`. For example, if running Ollama on the host machine, bound to http://127.0.0.1:11434 you should put `http://host.docker.internal:11434` into the connection URL in AnythingLLM.
### API is not working, cannot login, LLM is "offline"?
You are likely running the docker container on a remote machine like EC2 or some other instance where the reachable URL
is not `http://localhost:3001` and instead is something like `http://193.xx.xx.xx:3001` - in this case all you need to do is add the following to your `frontend/.env.production` before running `docker-compose up -d --build`
```
# frontend/.env.production
GENERATE_SOURCEMAP=false
VITE_API_BASE="http://
