Trying to run database in our cluster is not working, But it is working in local

[nikhilreddy-pottanig]

FROM milvusdb/milvus:latest as milvus_base

Install curl for healthcheck

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y curl && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Set environment variables

ENV ETCD_USE_EMBED=true
ENV COMMON_STORAGETYPE=local
ENV MILVUS_STORAGE_PATH=/var/lib/milvus

Create directory for persistent storage

RUN mkdir -p /var/lib/milvus

Expose necessary ports

EXPOSE 19530 9091 2379

# Run Milvus standalone

CMD ["milvus", "run", "standalone"]

Seems is not a standard milvus deployment.

Can't I directly install Milvus and start database server without using docker

[nikhilreddy-pottanig]

Tired running this way commands to install Milvus wasn't working

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y
software-properties-common
&& add-apt-repository ppa:milvusdb/milvus
&& apt-get update
&& apt-get install -y milvus \

Milvus apt installation is supported in v2.3 but is deprecated in v2.4.
This doc is about apt installation with v2.3:
https://milvus.io/docs/v2.3.x/install_standalone-aptyum.md

Use Python base image with a slim version

FROM python:3.11-slim as gradio_ui

Install system dependencies

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y
wget
gnupg
lsb-release
libaio1
libgfortran5
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Install Milvus

RUN wget https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/releases/download/v2.3.16/milvus_2.3.16-1_amd64.deb
&& apt-get update
&& dpkg -i milvus_2.3.16-1_amd64.deb
&& apt-get -f install -y
&& rm milvus_2.3.16-1_amd64.deb

Start Milvus service

CMD ["milvus", "run", "standalone"]

Is this the right way to use it?
Can't make above code working, getting connection error about etcd!
Can you help me out with what's the best way to start milvus without using milvus docker file

[yhmo]

I just follow the doc with these steps:

wget https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/releases/download/v2.3.16/milvus_2.3.16-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg -i milvus_2.3.16-1_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
sudo systemctl restart milvus

I can see the milvus server is running:

And I use pymilvus to test, it works well.

[nikhilreddy-pottanig]

Use an official Ubuntu base image

FROM ubuntu:20.04 as milvus_base

Set environment variables to ensure non-interactive installation

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive

Update and install necessary packages

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y
wget
systemctl
&& rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

Download the Milvus .deb package

RUN wget https://github.com/milvus-io/milvus/releases/download/v2.3.16/milvus_2.3.16-1_amd64.deb

Install the Milvus package

RUN apt-get update && dpkg -i milvus_2.3.16-1_amd64.deb || apt-get -f install -y

# Restart the Milvus service

RUN systemctl restart milvus

Expose Milvus port

EXPOSE 19530

Run Milvus in the foreground

CMD ["systemctl", "start", "milvus"]

Trying to run above docker content:-
Getting below errors
ERROR:systemctl:Unit milvus.service not for --user mode
ERROR:systemctl:can not open milvus.service log: /tmp/run-toolkit/log/journal/milvus.service.log
[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/tmp/run-toolkit/log/journal/milvus.service.log'

[nikhilreddy-pottanig]

When trying to use shell in the above container. When typing milvus nothing is happening

[nikhilreddy-pottanig]

And I see only 2.3.16 has deb file what about 2.4?
Which mainly have the features I need and my cluster doesn't support Docker compose kinda Services

[xiaofan-luan]

we don't support deb file for 2.4 or later, due to we don't have enough people to manage it.
Using docker/K8s is what we recommneded to do in production
