Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/1490

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

When I run the appimage this the error that I get:
./AnythingLLMDesktop.AppImage
[5392:0522/123545.151532:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_Anythipva25Z/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Just running the appimage.

This is not a bug with AnythingLLM and is a client-side config issue on your OS + Electron (what the app uses)
https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/17972

Also, since you are trying to run the AppImage, you should be aware of https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/898 which effects all Linux distros

Verify Ownership and Permissions

ls -l /path/to/anythingllm/chrome-sandbox

Replace /path/to/anythingllm/chrome-sandbox with the actual path to the chrome-sandbox binary within your AnythingLLM installation. The output should show root as the owner and rwsr-xr-x as the permissions (which corresponds to 4755).


Correct Permissions and Ownership (if needed)

If the ownership or permissions are incorrect, use the following commands:

sudo chown root /path/to/anythingllm/chrome-sandbox
sudo chmod 4755 /path/to/anythingllm/chrome-sandbox

Ensure you replace /path/to/anythingllm/chrome-sandbox with the actual path to the binary on your system.
