At a glance
AnythingLLM here, in four lines.
What it is, what we install, what management covers and what it needs. The rest of this page is detail.
- What it is
- AnythingLLM turns your documents into something you can talk to: a private RAG workspace that ingests PDFs, docs, and websites, embeds them, and answers questions grounded in your own material, with citations.
- What we install
- Our playbook deploys the official Docker image with persistent storage for your documents and vector data, HTTPS issued and forced, and multi-user mode ready. Point it at the model you prefer: your API key or an Ollama on the same server.
- What managed covers
- Server updates, snapshots, optional Dual Backups covering your document store, monitoring, firewall, and humans on call. Your documents never leave your server unless you choose a cloud model for inference.
- What it needs
- 4 GB RAM
Fits on SC-4GB, from $13.33/mo. Bigger sizes leave room for the apps you stack beside it.

Three ways to run AnythingLLM.

The details
AnythingLLM here, in plain words.
Straight answers to what people ask before they choose where to run it.
What can I actually do with AnythingLLM?
Feed it contracts, manuals, research, or an exported wiki and ask questions in plain language; answers cite the source passages. Teams use workspaces to separate clients or projects, each with its own documents and chat history.
Does my data stay private?
Documents and embeddings live on your server, inside daily snapshots and, optionally, Dual Backups. If you pair it with Ollama on the same server, even inference stays local and nothing ever leaves the machine; with a commercial API key, only the retrieved passages travel to the provider.
How much RAM does AnythingLLM need?
4 GB runs the app and its embedded vector database for serious document sets. Add Ollama for local inference and the pair wants 16 GB or more depending on the model; the cart meter does that math for you.
Which models work with it?
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, plus local models through Ollama. Embeddings can run locally either way, which keeps ingestion free and private.
FAQ
AnythingLLM hosting, answered.
Still deciding? These are the questions we hear most.
Is AnythingLLM good for a small team?
Yes: multi-user mode with per-workspace permissions is built into the Docker deployment we ship. One server holds separate workspaces per client or department cleanly.
AnythingLLM or a custom RAG build?
AnythingLLM gets you a working, private document-chat system the day the server provisions. A custom Flowise pipeline wins when you need exotic retrieval logic; plenty of teams run both, and both are $0 here.
What does it cost to run?
The app is $0; a 4 GB server starts at $13.33/mo on annual billing, fully managed, Dual Backups optional. Local embeddings and Ollama inference add no per-token cost; commercial API models bill with their provider.
Where do embeddings and vectors live?
On the server: AnythingLLM ships an embedded vector store (with options to use external ones), so both your documents and their embeddings stay private.
Which LLMs can it use?
Your choice per workspace: commercial APIs with your keys, or local models through Ollama, including one stacked on this same server for a fully private pipeline.
Is this AnythingLLM on a VPS or on shared hosting?
A VPS. AnythingLLM runs on your own private virtual server with dedicated, non-oversold resources and its own IP. You get real isolation and performance, with the setup, TLS and hardening handled for you.
Can I run other apps on the same server?
Yes. Add any other catalog app to this server from your client area, one click each, no per-app charge. How much fits is a question of RAM, and resizing is minutes.
Do you migrate my existing AnythingLLM?
Yes, migration help is free. Open a ticket with access to the current setup and we move it, verify it, and hand it back running. Nothing switches until you approve.
Can I upgrade or downgrade the plan later?
Anytime. Plans resize from the client area in minutes, annual billing keeps its flat 17% discount at every size, and there is never a fee to change tiers.
AnythingLLM runs. You sleep.
