How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

Hello. I'm trying to start Anything LLM in a GitHub Codespace (so that I might contribute, even in a tiny way) and also trying locally using a container on Windows 10 with Visual Studio Code dev containers. However, I'm experiencing issues with the startup process.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Followed the instructions in the .devcontainer/README.md file to set up the dev container in Visual Studio Code.
  2. Also tried created a new GitHub Codespace and installed the dev container using the same instructions.
  3. The container starts up then yarn setup starts up.

Expected Behavior:

Yarn should set up / install what it needs, then finishes setting up / installing dependencies.

Actual Behavior:

The startup process hangs indefinitely (I've waited for hours on windows, and GitHub Codespaces waits so long that GitHub actually deletes the Codespaces itself as it never gets past the Container-Creating setup - I've experienced this twice now), displaying the following output:

##########################################################################################
[5/5] Building fresh packages...
[-/4] ⠠ waiting...
[2/4] ⠐ sharp
[-/4] ⠐ waiting...
[4/4] ⠐ puppeteer

This output remains the same for hours, with no progress or errors displayed.

Environment:

  • GitHub Codespace: latest version, asking GitHub Codespace (in cloud) to show in VSCode locally
  • Local environment: Windows 10, Visual Studio Code with dev containers, using WSL to run locally in windows
  • Container: Docker container based on the .devcontainer/README.md instructions

Troubleshooting:

I've tried the following:

  • Restarted the container and GitHub Codespace multiple times

Request:

I would appreciate any guidance on how to resolve this issue. Is there a known problem with the startup process, or are there additional steps I need to take to get Anything LLM running in my environment? Could one of the team just try running the existing devcontainer from scratch locally / in GitHub Codespaces? Surely it can't be just me?

Additional Information:

  • I've checked the GitHub Codespace and local container configurations, and they appear to be identical.
  • I've tried searching for similar issues in the GitHub repository, but couldn't find any relevant information.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response
