+# How to use Dockerized Anything LLM
+
+Use the Dockerized version of AnythingLLM for a much faster and complete startup of AnythingLLM.
+
+## Requirements
+- Install [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) on your computer or machine.
+
+## How to install
+- `git clone` this repo and `cd anything-llm` to get to the root directory.
+- `yarn setup:envs` from repo root & fill out the `.env` file that is then created in `./docker/`
+- `cd docker/`
+- `docker-compose up -d --build` to build the image - this will take a few moments.
+
+Your docker host will show the image as online one the build process is completed. This will build the app to `http://localhost:3001`.
+
+## How to use the user interface
+- To access the full application visit `http://localhost:3001` in your browser.
+
+## How to add files to my system
+- To run the collector scripts to grab external data (articles, URLs, etc)
+  - `docker exec -it --workdir=/app/collector anything-llm python main.py`
+
+- To run the collector on local documents you want to provide to it
+  - `docker exec -it --workdir=/app/collector anything-llm python watch.py`
+  - Upload [compliant files](../collector/hotdir/__HOTDIR__.md) to `./collector/hotdir` and they will be processed and made available in the UI.
+
+## How to update and rebuild the ENV?
+- Update the `./docker/.env` and run `docker-compose up -d --build` to rebuild with new environments.
+
+
+## ⚠️ Vector DB support ⚠️
+Out of the box all vector databases are supported. Any vector databases requiring special configuration are listed below.
+
+### Using local ChromaDB with Dockerized AnythingLLM
+- Ensure in your `./docker/.env` file that you have
+```
+#./docker/.env
+...other configs
+
+VECTOR_DB="chroma"
+CHROMA_ENDPOINT='http://host.docker.internal:8000' # Allow docker to look on host port, not container.
+
+...other configs
+
+```
+
