Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/1913

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (remote machine)

What happened?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install anything-llm in a self-hosted setup on Alma Linux. Everything is going well and it works fine without RAG. However, when I try to add a file, I get the following error:
"Invalid file upload. EACCES: permission denied, open '/app/collector/hotdir/test.txt'"

I tried to change the permissions on the "documents" directory, but nothing works. I also tried to follow the guidance provided in #821, but I cannot find the correct directory structure.

I am using J'utilse ollama as LLM provider and lanceDB for the database

Any idea ?

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

Found a solution that works well, you could volume mount the /app/collector/hotdir directory to host path. Files stored there are temporary anyways.

Here's a sample

services:
  anythingllm:
    image: mintplexlabs/anythingllm
    volumes:
      - ./data/anythingllm/storage:/app/server/storage
      - ./data/anythingllm/hotdir:/app/collector/hotdir
      - ./data/anythingllm/.env:/app/server/.env
    environment:
      - STORAGE_DIR=/app/server/storage

Thank you so much, it works great !
For those who are interested, here is a modified version of the command to run anything-llm on Linux using Docker:

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

I am curious as to why this PR is closed... This looks to me like an actual bug of AnythingLLM.
