How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

edit: does not work in firefox nor edge

using docker. the vector databse settings do not open. the rest of anythingllm works. tested private mode too. there is just an empty site with the following html code:

docker logs show nothing but info tags (log level debug)

`<!DOCTYPE html>

I've tested this on both Edge and Firefox and I am not running into any issues. Try clearing cache in both browsers and make sure you are on the latest version of the AnythingLLM Docker image. Closing for now but if there are any steps you can provide to help us replicate this issue, we'd be more than happy to reopen.

Quick Fix (tested workaround for blank “Vector Database Settings” page in Firefox/Edge)
Hey 👋
This looks like a frontend serving issue — not a real backend crash.
Firefox and Edge are stricter with MIME types and cached static files.
Try these quick steps:

Clear your browser cache fully
Firefox/Edge sometimes cache an outdated index.js.
→ Go to the AnythingLLM web page → press
Ctrl + Shift + R (Windows) or Cmd + Shift + R (Mac)
to force reload everything.
If that fails, open a private window and test again.

Restart the AnythingLLM container
In your terminal:

docker restart anythingllm

Then wait ~10 seconds and refresh your browser tab.
If it still shows a blank screen, check the container’s static files.

Check if frontend files exist inside the container
Run:
docker exec -it anythingllm ls /app/server/static
or
docker exec -it anythingllm ls /app/web/dist

If you see files like index.js and index.css, great.
If not your frontend didn’t build correctly.
You can fix that by pulling the latest version:

docker pull mintplexlabs/anythingllm:latest
docker restart anythingllm

tip: Check direct file access
Visit this in Firefox:
http://YOUR-IP:PORT/index.js

If you see HTML instead of JavaScript
your reverse proxy (if you use) e.g., Nginx, CasaOS, Caddy) is redirecting all paths to /.
You’ll need to exclude .js and .css files from the rewrite rule.
After these steps, the “Vector Database Settings” page should load normally again in Firefox and Edge.
If not, please paste your browser console error (F12 Console) if it’s a MIME-type or missing-build issue.

Thank you very much for the explanation of the debugging steps! (which helped and are very useful in general too, ).

===> It worked, after the ctrl shift R refresh and restarting the container

Very much appreciated!
