From the app's own repository: github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md.

Compose example from the project's own docs: Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm:docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md.

Install

1. Docker with the Compose plugin (github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md#L94-L133)

   A host with Docker and the Docker Compose plugin. This entry runs from a compose file.

2. Save the code block as docker-compose.yml (github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md)

   Use the compose file shown above.

3. What the compose file check ran with (github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md#L94-L133)

   This compose file is copied unchanged from the code block in https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e896721d214df6a8c50282a6d118666a735/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md#L94-L133. The check ran on that block alone. The Docker guide of the repository shows this compose example for running the published image.

4. Start it (github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md)

   docker compose up -d

5. Open the app (github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md)

   Open http://localhost:3001. The compose file publishes host port 3001 for the anythingllm service.

Compose file check: config_ok on 2026-10-22.

Gotchas and maintenance

Gotchas

• Some images use the latest tag or no tag. Images without a pinned version: anythingllm: mintplexlabs/anythingllm (no tag). A later pull can get a different version. (github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md, checked 2026-10-22)
• The compose file publishes host ports. Host ports: 3001 (anythingllm). A port without a host address listens on all host network interfaces. (github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md, checked 2026-10-22)
• Some services get elevated host access. anythingllm adds Linux capabilities. (github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/blob/0acf0e8/docker/HOW_TO_USE_DOCKER.md, checked 2026-10-22)
