How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

Hello,
I've mounted a folder that i want to put in a workspace with a volume inside /app/server/storage/documents
Inside docker container i can list documents. I see folders in the app but they are empty.
How to link local existing folder without copying all folder (quite heavy folder) ?

Regards,

Baptiste Denaeyer

Are there known steps to reproduce?

We need to parse the files into our expected schema format - you cannot just place the raw files into the documents folder as they would not be in our expected format for ingestion.

You need to upload them via the UI so that they can be parse properly and then used in workspaces.

Is there a way to parse document without the UI ? with a command line for example ?

The only way outside of the UI is via the API, where you can use the /v1/documents/upload POST endpoint 👍
