Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/3572

How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

"I'm currently using the Windows desktop version, and since our server is Windows-based, I need to call the LLM API without using their desktop client. Is there a way to run it as a service-like process that starts automatically on boot? I don't want to see the software interface, and I want to perform all operations through the API."
no docker

Are there known steps to reproduce?

@timothycarambat commented on GitHub (Apr 1, 2025):

This is not a bug, please do not use [BUG] tickets for things like this. If you want to run a server, you should be using Docker - it is much more aligned with what you want to accomplish. That being said, you cannot run the desktop app in the background and not show the UI.

You can autostart the app on boot with Windows Task Scheduler, which will start the app and then run the background server as well - which you can use the API on and get what you need.
