| Ollama + AnythingLLM | Azure | — | Standard | View · Guide |
This bundle pairs two open source, MIT licensed projects into one ready to use private AI workspace. AnythingLLM is the web application: chat, retrieval augmented generation over your own documents, workspaces, AI agents and multi user accounts. Ollama is the local model server that runs open weight language models on the VM itself, here serving both the chat model AnythingLLM answers with and the embedding model it uses to index your documents.
Because the models run on the same machine, prompts, documents, embeddings and chats stay inside your own cloud account. It suits teams that want a self hosted alternative to hosted AI chat services for confidential material, and developers who want a local, OpenAI free stack to build on.
The cloudimg image arrives wired end to end: AnythingLLM is already connected to Ollama for both chat and embeddings, and two openly licensed models (IBM Granite 4.0 Micro for chat and Nomic Embed Text for embeddings, both Apache 2.0) are baked in, so the first chat works without downloading anything or entering a key. AnythingLLM's multi user mode is switched on with an admin password generated uniquely for each VM at first boot, the app is served over HTTPS by nginx, Ollama listens on loopback only and telemetry is turned off. The paired deployment guide covers sign in, document chat, the developer API, adding larger models and your own domain, and every deployment carries 24/7 support.
