Follow the instructions on https://docs.anythingllm.com/installation-docker/quickstart#start-anythingllm-via-docker

There is also a giant warning on the container start if the storage DIR is not defined

Same it's happening to me and I'm using default app provided in TrueNas Scale. I am also facing "lancedb invalid env settings". That started to happeng right before I restarted the app.

I'm really not sure why those settings aren't supposed to be kept since the first beggining

@barneycatatau Same as above - use the official command to preserve your data between container restarts. If you arent using the command that is the reason.

I know @timothycarambat, the problem is where to add it in truenas scale. The only field available is through "Aditional Environment Variables" which the official command from the documentation doesn't apply. Apprecite if you can provide some guidance. Screenshot below:

I've run this command directly on the CLI, copied directly from the deploy to cloud page

export STORAGE_LOCATION="/var/lib/anythingllm" && \ mkdir -p $STORAGE_LOCATION && \ touch "$STORAGE_LOCATION/.env" && \ docker run -d -p 3001:3001 \ # expose on port 3001 (can be any host port) --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \ -v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}:/app/server/storage \ -v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}/.env:/app/server/.env \ -e STORAGE_DIR="/app/server/storage" \ mintplexlabs/anythingllm:master

and it doesn't do anything
In /var/lib/anythingllm there is an empty .env file. I don't see any app/server/storage directories in there or elsewhere on my system.
What am I doing wrong?
