# AnythingLLM on NAS: Private Documents, RAG, Ollama and Storage Guide

> Use the NAS for authoritative documents and persistent AnythingLLM storage, but do not assume the NAS should perform every AI task. Embedding and LLM inference can run locally or on another trusted machine. Keep the vector database and application state on SSD/NVMe where possible, mount source data with minimal permissions, and back up both the original files and the RAG metadata needed to rebuild workspaces.
