How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I installed AnythingLLM on a Linux machine. I tried enabling Outlook under agent skills but it wont authenticate. After hours of going back and forth with Claude.ai, it looks like the way the app.image is configured, the browser tries passing the successful authentication and consent approval back to a new instance of AnythingLLM and not the instance that is already running.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Install AnythingLLM on Linux using the documentation. Go into agent skills, enable Outlook, put in the required app information and click authenticate. When the browser window opens up, sign in and click approve.

Do deeplinks not work for linux? The anythingllm:// protcol handler should be registered and also how that callback functions.

Can you confirm if that does or doesnt work - or maybe a video of this failure mode? That will help with more information

I believe anythingllm:// it does work now, but not at first. At first, I could not get any reaction out of AnythingLLM when I tried to authenticate Outlook. It took a lot of back and forth with Claude.ai before I got that part working at all. If it helps I am attaching the dialogue I had with Claude.AI in trying to troubleshoot this issue.
