 ### Product Overview
 AnythingLLM is a full-stack application where you can use commercial off-the-shelf LLMs or popular open source LLMs and vectorDB solutions to build a private ChatGPT with no compromises that you can run locally as well as host remotely and be able to chat intelligently with any documents you provide it.

-## Recommended usage with Docker (easy!)
-> [!IMPORTANT]
-> If you are running another service on localhost like Chroma, LocalAi, or LMStudio
-> you will need to use http://host.docker.internal:xxxx to access the service from within
-> the docker container using AnythingLLM as `localhost:xxxx` will not resolve for the host system.
-> eg: Chroma host URL running on localhost:8000 on host machine needs to be http://host.docker.internal:8000
-> when used in AnythingLLM.
-
-> [!TIP]
-> It is best to mount the containers storage volume to a folder on your host machine
-> so that you can pull in future updates without deleting your existing data!

 - Chat is sent. This is the most regular "event" and gives us an idea of the daily-activity of this project across all installations. Again, only the event is sent - we have no information on the nature or content of the chat itself.
 
 You can verify these claims by finding all locations `Telemetry.sendTelemetry` is called. Additionally these events are written to the output log so you can also see the specific data which was sent - if enabled. No IP or other identifying information is collected. The Telemetry provider is [PostHog](https://posthog.com/) - an open-source telemetry collection service.
