Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4546

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Not listed

What happened?

I have read this documentation already, so that's the reason I feel there is something wrong with anythingllm while running under Truenas. I'm running a fresh installation of anythingllm available in this catalog of truenas scale 25.04.2.4. It seems to me, that even though variable is properly set and mount point as well, the data is not persisting after restart.

Volume Mounts:
Image

app/server/storage mount:
Image

STORAGE_DIR variable set:
Image

Is there any workaround for that issue currently?

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

Is that location writable by the docker process? While the container is running you should be able to
ls -la /mnt/.ix-apps/apps_mount/anythingllm/data on host and see all the files mapped from the container to the host.

From the command you showed it was unclear if you are running ls in the container - which of course will resolve in the container, but that is the whole problem.

What is your exact command you run on the Host to start the Docker container? That is the issue.

While the container is running you should be able to `ls -la /mnt/.ix-apps/apps_mount/anythingllm/data` on host and see all the files mapped from the container to the host. From the command you showed it was unclear if you are running `ls` in the container - which of course will resolve in the container, but that is the whole problem. What is your _exact_ command you run on the Host to start the Docker container? That is the issue.

That template you linked: https://apps.truenas.com/catalog/anything-llm/ is not maintained by us - so there could be an issue in that as well.
