AnythingLLM hosting

A private document workspace — drop files in, ask questions, get cited answers.

In short

AnythingLLM hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant AnythingLLM instance on our infrastructure: we install it, pin it to a reviewed release, put it behind TLS on your domain, back it up nightly and keep it patched. Plans start at $18.99 per month and the admin account, the data and any API keys are yours.

WorkspacesCitationsBuilt-in vectorsWebsite crawlPermissionsAgents

AnythingLLM is the shortest route from a folder of documents to a working knowledge assistant. You create a workspace, upload PDFs, Word files, spreadsheets or a website crawl, and ask questions; answers come back with citations to the source chunk. Workspaces keep separate document sets and permissions, so sales and legal do not share a context window.

Embedding and vector storage are built in, so a single plan covers the whole pipeline. It works with commercial model APIs and with local endpoints, which means the documents and the answers can both stay inside infrastructure you control.

How we run AnythingLLM

One mintplexlabs/anythingllm container holding the server, the document collector and the embedded LanceDB vector store, with /app/server/storage on a persistent volume.

What we configure for you

  • JWT_SECRET, SIG_KEY and SIG_SALT generated per instance
  • STORAGE_DIR on a persistent, backed-up volume
  • LLM_PROVIDER and EMBEDDING_ENGINE set to your provider or a local Ollama plan
  • VECTOR_DB left on lancedb, or pointed at Qdrant, Milvus, Weaviate or pgvector
  • DISABLE_TELEMETRY on unless you want usage reporting
  • Password or multi-user mode enabled before the URL is shared

Which plan fits

Pro (8 GB) is the practical floor once PDFs are being parsed and embedded on the box, and handles a team with a few thousand documents. Max (12 GB) gives headroom for large imports, website crawls and the native embedder running alongside many active workspaces.

The honest limits

Chat quality depends on the model you connect; a small local model on CPU answers slowly and less precisely than a commercial API. Multi-user mode is a one-way switch.

Questions

AnythingLLM hosting: your questions

Do I need a separate vector database?
No. AnythingLLM ships with an embedded vector store that is included in the plan. You can point it at a dedicated Qdrant or Weaviate instance if your corpus outgrows it.
Where do the embeddings run?
Either on a provider you configure, or against a local model on an Ollama plan. In the second case nothing about your documents leaves our network.
Can I give colleagues their own logins?
Yes. Switch the instance to multi-user mode and create users with admin, manager or default roles; default users see only the workspaces they are added to. Note that upstream does not allow switching back to single-user mode once multi-user is on.
Which model providers does AnythingLLM support?
A long list set by LLM_PROVIDER, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure, Mistral, Groq, OpenRouter, DeepSeek, Bedrock and any generic OpenAI-compatible endpoint, plus local runtimes such as Ollama, LocalAI, KoboldCpp and text-generation-webui.
Is there an API for integrating it into other tools?
Yes. AnythingLLM has a developer API with keys generated in settings and interactive Swagger documentation on the instance. You can create workspaces, upload documents and send chats programmatically, and embed a chat widget on a website.
What exactly is in the backup?
Everything lives under the storage directory: the SQLite database with users and workspaces, the LanceDB vector tables, uploaded source documents and cached models. That directory is what we copy off-box each night, so a restore brings back both documents and embeddings together.
