The script installs Docker if needed and starts three containers — etcd for metadata, MinIO for object storage, and Milvus itself — exposing the Milvus gRPC API on port 19530.
sudo bash milvus-ubuntu.sh4 Connect a Client
There's no web UI — connect with the pymilvus client (or another SDK) pointed at the gRPC endpoint:
MilvusClient(uri="http://<your-server-ip>:19530")Ports Used
| Port | Purpose |
|---|---|
| 19530 | gRPC API (host → container 19530) — no web UI, use client SDKs |
| internal | etcd (metadata) + MinIO (object storage, minioadmin default) |
| ./milvus | Milvus data (back up with ./etcd and ./minio together) |
