Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/2948

What would you like to see?

I have a home machine which is a Windows and in office I work on a MacOS. AnythingLLM has now become my daily driver but sometimes I miss the feature of syncing my workspaces across devices. Whenever I create something new on my office machine, I would want the same workspace and chat along with the settings to reflect in my home Windows machine as well. I understand the vector database cannot be shared except cloud alternatives and I believe we can ignore local database or if it is possible to sync that as well it would be absolutely killer..

I'm closing this because this is actually what the Community Hub will soon allow via workspace sharing. This way, the origin device can create/update and push changes in a workspace to the hub and then have child clients pull the workspace down.

So not closing because we are not doing it - it just is being supported via the hub instead of natively in app since that is a better place for it. The main blocker for this is we want to encrypt workspaces before uploading to the hub so that it is secure and trustless.

We have thought of doing p2p client between instances but that because really hard to manage quickly with a ton of complexity and will lead to 1000's of Github issues from user network setups. Might still revisit this method just so users have options, but it will be deliver in Q1

@timothycarambat thoughts on using a self-hosted instance as the workspace host with RAG, ongoing chats etc

And then letting desktop apps connect to it?

Like basically a remote managed workspace but you can access via desktop? This is a neat idea and is actually going to be a feature of the mobile companion app! We have this on our internal feature roadmap already 👍

Oh my, this has got to be the fastest reply I’ve ever received on a GitHub issue 😄

Thank you!
