Attu on Debian 13

Attu is an open-source, web-based graphical user interface designed to manage and visualize Milvus vector databases. It provides an interactive environment to explore collections, manage schemas, perform vector searches, and monitor database status through a simple and intuitive browser-based interface.

Features of Attu:

• Web-based graphical interface for managing Milvus vector databases.
• View and manage collections, partitions, and schemas.
• Insert, search, and delete vector data interactively.
• Monitor Milvus health and system metadata.
• Simplifies vector database operations without using CLI tools.

To start Attu with Milvus using Docker, run the following commands:

$ docker --version
$ docker network create milvus-net
$ docker run -d \
  --name milvus-standalone \
  --network milvus-net \
  -p 19530:19530 \
  -p 9091:9091 \
  milvusdb/milvus:v2.3.3 \
  milvus run standalone
$ docker run -d \
  --name attu \
  --network milvus-net \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  zilliz/attu:latest
$ docker ps

Access the Attu Web Interface:
