How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

If running AnythingLLM via Docker, e.g., for setting up workspaces to share with others, but also using the AnythingLLM desktop application on the same computer, the Desktop Assistant Overlay is not working:

It is not possible to insert any text, i.e., clicking the 'ask anything...' part. Same for the three-dot-menu at the top right. If the docker container is stopped, everything is working fine.

AnythingLLM team on Discord:

Not a bug per-se. They both try to access port 3001. That being said the desktop app actually is supposed to check if TCP 3001 is open before attempting to bind. The overlap of people with docker + desktop running at same time is probably very very low - in fact I would be surprised if anyone else has ever seen this besides you and our core team.

I agree and mainly posting it, if there are people out there having the same experience, so they can find why it is occurring and how to prevent this.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Closing, but as i did respond on discord this is known - we can even make a post in Docs on the desktop help page just so its more discoverable than a closed GH issue

I run both side by side and have run into this issue as well.
I use the docker version for code development and testing, the desktop app for transcription, mainly.
So @YokoAC is not alone.
