Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/3195

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Local development

What happened?

I set up a local environment of anything-llm according to the documentation (Node.js 18), checked out the git-repo as of February 12th 2025. Everything works nicely, server and collector are running.
Then I set up a workspace and an AI model. Following I tried uploading a PDF document and it failed. The collector is trying to save the file in the hotdir directory, but the path does not exist. Although the code indicates that a relative path is being used, the root directory expected to be is '/home/collector/hotdir'. But the module is located at different place '/home/username/anything-llm/collector/hotdir'. Testwise I created this directory structure and then the file gets uploaded. But then the import fails anyway.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Set up a local environment according to here. Start server and collector, try to upload a file or try to fetch a web url.

Permissions on that folder (chmod -R 777 /abs/path/to/storage) need to be opened + make sure you have STORAGE_DIR defined in the .env.development in your server folder to the absolute path of your storage or just leave it totally commented out

The server expects .env.developement in dev
https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0e7fee41ca48f73d664a899cc2bce4808d2707bd/server/index.js#L1-L3

Storage dir is implied to be server/storage in the repo when in development mode - even in collector.
example: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0e7fee41ca48f73d664a899cc2bce4808d2707bd/collector/utils/comKey/index.js#L4-L11
