Docker Compose

The reference deployment uses both Compose files:

docker compose -f deploy/compose.yaml -f deploy/milvus.compose.yaml config

The stack contains the MCP application, Milvus Standalone, etcd, MinIO, and optional Attu. Named volumes hold the Milvus data, index manifest, and SQLite runtime state. Attu is available with --profile tools.

The production profile adds the TLS Nginx service. Set the exact public hosts, origins, trusted proxy network, certificate paths, and public port in the deployment environment before starting it:

docker compose -f deploy/compose.yaml -f deploy/milvus.compose.yaml \
  --profile production up -d

The application uses one process with bounded threads. Milvus handles concurrent reads through its service interface.
