How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

Issue with File Upload in Docker Container

I encountered an issue while uploading a file to my Docker container. The progress wasn't moving, and when I dragged a second file, I received a "permission denied" error for the directory /app/collector/hotdir. The dir is owned by root.

Steps to Resolve

  1. I accessed the container as the root user:

    docker exec -u root -it 1573ccc33354 bash

  2. I changed the ownership of the directory to allow uploads:

    chown -R anythingllm:anythingllm /app/collector/hotdir

After this change, the uploads worked fine.

Steps to Reproduce

I ran docker command, went to web ui, selected single user and no password, selected OpenAI then gpt4 mini put api key in webui. Changed vector db to openai small. tried to upload and that's what I got. Environment: Linux.

Running the Docker Container

I set up the storage location and ran the Docker container with the following commands:

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" \
