How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (remote machine)

What happened?

Hi;

I had this error before; mostly everytime I spin a new anythingllm instance

It is probably an error with my user rights in :/app/server/storage
in my docker-compose I left that note:

## ensure `chown 1000:100` + `chmod g+w` for \`/app/server/storage`

which saddly doesnt help me at all

the error is:

Failed to enable Multi-User mode: Unexpected token 'l', "Internal S" is not valid JSON
Image

How do I spin my AnythingLLM

  1. I simply carry over my docker-compose.yml
---
services:
  anythingllm:
    cap_add:
    - SYS_ADMIN
    container_name: anythingllm
    env_file:
    - ../env/anythingllm
    image: mintplexlabs/anythingllm
    restart: always
    volumes:
    - ../env/anythingllm:/app/server/.env
    ## ensure `chown 1000:100` + `chmod g+w` for `/app/server/storage`
    - ../data/anythingllm:/app/server/storage
  1. create ../data/anythingllm
  2. chown and chmod ../data/anythingllm
    then that create anythingllm.db, comkey and plugins in ../data/anythingllm/

Why no port are declared ?

  • because I use a docker proxy which connect internally and directly to http://anythingllm:3001

Which VectorDB?

  • qdrant

What are the logs are saying?

doh!
I found it

error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/app/server/.env' Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/app/server/.env'

SOLUTION

chown and chmod /app/server/.env too ;)

So Why ?

Why I'm still posting my Bug issue if I found the solution ?
To help my future me, and other :P

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response
