Running Anything LLM

This installs both Anything LLM frontend service.

These instructions also assume you've created an ipv6 network called local-ai.

# Anything LLM Interface
export STORAGE_LOCATION=/anything-llm
mkdir -p $STORAGE_LOCATION
touch "$STORAGE_LOCATION/.env"
chown -R 1000:1000 $STORAGE_LOCATION

podman run \
    -d \
    -p 3001:3001 \
    --name anything-llm \
    --network local-ai \
    --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
    -v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}:/app/server/storage \
    -v ${STORAGE_LOCATION}/.env:/app/server/.env \
    -e STORAGE_DIR="/app/server/storage" \
    mintplexlabs/anythingllm

Installing External Service with Nginx and Certbot

We're going to need a certificate for our service since we'll want to talk to it over https. This will be handled by certbot. I'm using AWS in this example, but certbot has tons of DNS plugins available with similar commands. The important part is getting that letsencrypt certificate generated and in the place nginx expects it.

Before we can use certbot we need aws credentials. Note this will be different if you use a different DNS provider.

See generating AWS credentials

curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
unzip awscliv2.zip
./aws/install

# Configure default credentials
aws configure

With AWS credentials configured you can now install and generate a certificate.

# Fedora
dnf install -y certbot python3-certbot-dns-route53

# Ubuntu
apt install -y python3-certbot python3-certbot-dns-route53

# Both
certbot certonly --dns-route53 -d chatreesept.reeseapps.com

Now you have a cert!

Install and start nginx with the following commands:

# Fedora
dnf install -y nginx

# Ubuntu
apt install -y nginx

# Both
systemctl enable --now nginx

We'll write our nginx config to split frontend/backend traffic depending on which endpoint we're hitting. In general, all traffic bound for v1/ is API traffic and should hit port 8080 since that's where the service protected by the API token is listening. The rest is frontend traffic.

Speaking of that frontend, we'll want to protect it with a basic auth username/password. To generate that we'll need to install htpasswd with pacman -S apache or apt install apache2-utils.

# Generate and save credentials.
htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.htpasswd admin

With our admin password created let's edit our nginx config. First, add this to our nginx.conf (or make sure it's already there).

/etc/nginx/nginx.conf

keepalive_timeout 1h;
send_timeout 1h;
client_body_timeout 1h;
client_header_timeout 1h;
proxy_connect_timeout 1h;
proxy_read_timeout 1h;
proxy_send_timeout 1h;

Now write your nginx http config files. You'll need two:

  1. localai.reeseapps.com.conf
  2. chatreesept.reeseapps.com.conf

/etc/nginx/conf.d/localai.reeseapps.com.conf

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    server_name localai.reeseapps.com;

    location / {
        return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
    }
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    listen [::]:443 ssl;
    server_name localai.reeseapps.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/localai.reeseapps.com/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/localai.reeseapps.com/privkey.pem;

    # Frontend
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8081;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_buffering off;
        auth_basic "Restricted Area";
        auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
    }

    # Backend
    location /v1 {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_buffering off;
    }
}

/etc/nginx/conf.d/chatreesept.reeseapps.com.conf

    server {
        listen 80;
        server_name chatreesept.reeseapps.com;

        location / {
            return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 443 ssl;
        server_name chatreesept.reeseapps.com;

        ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/chatreesept.reeseapps.com/fullchain.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/chatreesept.reeseapps.com/privkey.pem;

        location / {
            client_max_body_size 50m;

            proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
            proxy_http_version 1.1;
            proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
            proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
            proxy_set_header Host $host;
            proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
        }
    }

Run nginx -t to check for errors. If there are none, run systemctl reload nginx to pick up your changes. Your website should be available at chatreesept.reeseapps.com and localai.reeseapps.com.

Set up automatic certificate renewal by adding the following line to your crontab to renew the certificate daily:

sudo crontab -e

Add the following line to the end of the file:

0 0 * * * certbot renew --quiet

At this point you might need to create some UFW rules to allow inter-container talking.

# Try this first if you're having problems
ufw reload

# Debug with ufw logging
ufw logging on
tail -f /var/log/ufw.log

Also consider that podman will not restart your containers at boot. You'll need to create quadlets from the podman run commands. Check out the comments above the podman run commands for more info. Also search the web for "podman quadlets" or ask your AI about it!

Models

If the default models aren't good enough...

Example configs can be found here:

https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/tree/9099d0c77e9e52f4a63c53aa546cc47f1e0cfdb1/gallery

This is a really good repo to start with:

Discovering models

Check out Hugging Face's leaderboard: https://huggingface.co/spaces/open-llm-leaderboard/open_llm_leaderboard

  1. Select the model type you're after
  2. Drag the number of parameters slider to a range you can run
  3. Click the top few and read about them.
