Attu is an all-in-one milvus administration tool. With Attu, you can dramatically reduce the cost of managing milvus.
Before you begin, make sure that you have Milvus installed on either Zilliz Cloud or your own server.
Milvus Version | Recommended Attu Version |
---|---|
2.4.x | v2.4.0 |
2.3.x | v2.3.10 |
2.2.x | v2.2.8 |
2.1.x | v2.2.2 |
Here are the steps to start a container for running Attu:
docker run -p 8000:3000 -e MILVUS_URL={milvus server IP}:19530 zilliz/attu:v2.4.0
Make sure that the Attu container can access the Milvus IP address. After starting the container, open your web browser and enter http://{ Attu IP }:8000
to view the Attu GUI.
Parameter | Example | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
MILVUS_URL | 192.168.0.1:19530 | false | Optional, Milvus server URL |
ATTU_LOG_LEVEL | info | false | Optional, sets the log level for Attu |
ROOT_CERT_PATH | /path/to/root/cert | false | Optional, path to the root certificate |
PRIVATE_KEY_PATH | /path/to/private/key | false | Optional, path to the private key |
CERT_CHAIN_PATH | /path/to/cert/chain | false | Optional, path to the certificate chain |
SERVER_NAME | your_server_name | false | Optional, name of your server |
SERVER_PORT | Server listen port | false | Optional, 3000 by default if unset |
Please note that the
MILVUS_URL
should be an address that the Attu Docker container can access. Therefore, "127.0.0.1" or "localhost" will not work.
To run the Docker container with these environment variables, use the following command:
docker run -p 8000:3000 \
-v /your-tls-file-path:/app/tls \
-e ATTU_LOG_LEVEL=info \
-e ROOT_CERT_PATH=/app/tls/ca.pem \
-e PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/app/tls/client.key \
-e CERT_CHAIN_PATH=/app/tls/client.pem \
-e SERVER_NAME=your_server_name \
zilliz/attu:dev
This command lets you run the docker container with host networking, specifying a custom port for the server to listen on
docker run --network host \
-v /your-tls-file-path:/app/tls \
-e ATTU_LOG_LEVEL=info \
-e SERVER_NAME=your_server_name \
-e SERVER_PORT=8080 \
zilliz/attu:dev
Before you begin, make sure that you have Milvus installed and running within your K8's Cluster. Note that Attu only supports Milvus 2.x.
Here are the steps to start a container for running Attu:
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zilliztech/attu/main/attu-k8s-deploy.yaml
Make sure that the Attu pod can access the Milvus service. In the example provided this connects directly to my-release-milvus:19530
. Change this based on the Milvus service name. A more flexible way to achieve this would be to introduce a ConfigMap
. See this example for details.
server {
listen 8080;
server_name localhost;
location /attu/ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
rewrite ^/attu/(.*)$ /$1 break;
}
}
If you prefer to use a desktop application, you can download the desktop version of Attu.
- Dev:
yarn run build:dev
- Release:
yarn run build:release
- I can't log into the system
Make sure that the IP address of the Milvus server can be accessed from the Attu container. #161
