AnythingLLM — an all-in-one AI application: chat with your documents (RAG), connect any LLM (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, …) and vector database, and organize work into workspaces with agents. Deployed as a host-networked Nomad service with a persistent storage volume.
Needs nomad-pack on PATH. The script only adds the nomploy registry and runs this pack.

This pack stores data in one Docker named volume:
anythingllm_storage
restic
# Run on the node hosting this pack. Point restic at your repo first: # export RESTIC_REPOSITORY="s3:https://<account>.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/<bucket>" # export RESTIC_PASSWORD="<repo-password>" # export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<key> AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<secret> restic backup \ /var/lib/docker/volumes/anythingllm_storage/_data
rclone (sync to S3/R2)
rclone sync /var/lib/docker/volumes/anythingllm_storage/_data backup:<bucket>/anythingllm_storage
Paths assume the default Docker volume location (/var/lib/docker/volumes). Restore by stopping the job, restoring files into the same volume, and re-running the pack.
AnythingLLM — an all-in-one AI application for chatting with your documents. Connect any LLM (Ollama, OpenAI, Anthropic, local models…) and vector database, upload documents for retrieval-augmented chat (RAG), and organize everything into workspaces with agents and a built-in API.
Single host-networked Nomad service with a persistent storage volume. A prestart task chowns the volume so
the app (uid 1000) can write it, and SYS_ADMIN is added for the document collector.

On first run, a setup wizard walks you through choosing an LLM provider and embedding/vector settings.
For a fully local stack, point it at the co-located ollama pack (http://127.0.0.1:11434) and the
chroma or qdrant packs, then create a workspace and upload documents. Serves plain HTTP — front it with
a reverse proxy for TLS. Pin the job to the node holding the volume with constraints.
