How to use Dockerized Anything LLM

Use the Dockerized version of AnythingLLM for a much faster and complete startup of AnythingLLM.

Minimum Requirements

Tip

Running AnythingLLM on AWS/GCP/Azure? You should aim for at least 2GB of RAM. Disk storage is proportional to however much data you will be storing (documents, vectors, models, etc). Minimum 10GB recommended.

docker installed on your machine
yarn and node on your machine
access to an LLM running locally or remotely

*AnythingLLM by default uses a built-in vector database powered by LanceDB

*AnythingLLM by default embeds text on instance privately Learn More

Important

If you are running another service on localhost like Chroma, LocalAi, or LMStudio you will need to use http://host.docker.internal:xxxx to access the service from within the docker container using AnythingLLM as localhost:xxxx will not resolve for the host system.

Requires Docker v18.03+ on Win/Mac and 20.10+ on Linux/Ubuntu for host.docker.internal to resolve!

Linux: add --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway to docker run command for this to resolve.

eg: Chroma host URL running on localhost:8000 on host machine needs to be http://host.docker.internal:8000 when used in AnythingLLM.

Tip

It is best to mount the containers storage volume to a folder on your host machine so that you can pull in future updates without deleting your existing data!

Pull in the latest image from docker. Supports both amd64 and arm64 CPU architectures.

docker pull mintplexlabs/anythingllm

Mount the storage locally and run AnythingLLM in Docker

Linux/MacOs

Mount the storage locally and run AnythingLLM in Docker
Linux/MacOs	`export STORAGE_LOCATION=$HOME/anythingllm && \ mkdir -p $STORAGE_LOCATION && \ touch "$STORAGE_LOCATION/.env" && \ docker run -d -p 3001:3001 \ --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \ -v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}:/app/server/storage \ -v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}/.env:/app/server/.env \ -e STORAGE_DIR="/app/server/storage" \ mintplexlabs/anythingllm`
Windows	# Run this in powershell terminal $env:STORAGE_LOCATION="$HOME\Documents\anythingllm"; ` If(!(Test-Path $env:STORAGE_LOCATION)) {New-Item $env:STORAGE_LOCATION -ItemType Directory}; ` If(!(Test-Path "$env:STORAGE_LOCATION\.env")) {New-Item "$env:STORAGE_LOCATION\.env"}; ` docker run -d -p 3001:3001 ` --cap-add SYS_ADMIN ` -v "$env:STORAGE_LOCATION`:/app/server/storage" ` -v "$env:STORAGE_LOCATION\.env:/app/server/.env" ` -e STORAGE_DIR="/app/server/storage" ` mintplexlabs/anythingllm;

export STORAGE_LOCATION=$HOME/anythingllm && \
mkdir -p $STORAGE_LOCATION && \
touch "$STORAGE_LOCATION/.env" && \
docker run -d -p 3001:3001 \
--cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
-v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}:/app/server/storage \
-v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}/.env:/app/server/.env \
-e STORAGE_DIR="/app/server/storage" \
mintplexlabs/anythingllm

Windows

# Run this in powershell terminal
$env:STORAGE_LOCATION="$HOME\Documents\anythingllm"; `
If(!(Test-Path $env:STORAGE_LOCATION)) {New-Item $env:STORAGE_LOCATION -ItemType Directory}; `
If(!(Test-Path "$env:STORAGE_LOCATION\.env")) {New-Item "$env:STORAGE_LOCATION\.env"}; `
docker run -d -p 3001:3001 `
--cap-add SYS_ADMIN `
-v "$env:STORAGE_LOCATION`:/app/server/storage" `
-v "$env:STORAGE_LOCATION\.env:/app/server/.env" `
-e STORAGE_DIR="/app/server/storage" `
mintplexlabs/anythingllm;

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.

⚠️ Vector DB support ⚠️

Out of the box, all vector databases are supported. Any vector databases requiring special configuration are listed below.

Using local ChromaDB with Dockerized AnythingLLM

Ensure in your ./docker/.env file that you have

#./docker/.env
...other configs

VECTOR_DB="chroma"
CHROMA_ENDPOINT='http://host.docker.internal:8000' # Allow docker to look on host port, not container.
# CHROMA_API_HEADER="X-Api-Key" // If you have an Auth middleware on your instance.
# CHROMA_API_KEY="sk-123abc"

...other configs

Common questions and fixes

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://<YOUR_REACHABLE_IP_ADDRESS>:3001/api"

For example, if the docker instance is available on 192.186.1.222 your VITE_API_BASE would look like VITE_API_BASE="http://192.186.1.222:3001/api" in frontend/.env.production.
