# Install Attu with Docker and Docker Compose

This topic describes how to install Attu with Docker Compose, an efficient open-source management tool for Milvus.

## Prerequisites

- Milvus installed on [your local device](install_standalone-docker.md) or [cluster](install_cluster-docker.md).
- Docker 19.03 or later

<div class="alert note">
Attu only supports Milvus 2.x.

## Milvus to Attu Version Mapping

| Milvus Version | Recommended Attu Version                                         |
| -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 2.4.x          | [v2.4.8](https://github.com/zilliztech/attu/releases/tag/v2.4.8) |
| 2.3.x          | [v2.3.5](https://github.com/zilliztech/attu/releases/tag/v2.3.5) |
| 2.2.x          | [v2.2.8](https://github.com/zilliztech/attu/releases/tag/v2.2.8) |
| 2.1.x          | [v2.2.2](https://github.com/zilliztech/attu/releases/tag/v2.2.2) |

## Start a standalone Attu instance 

```Bash
docker run -p 8000:3000 -e HOST_URL=http://{ your machine IP }:8000 -e MILVUS_URL={your machine IP}:19530 zilliz/attu:latest
```

Once you start the docker, visit `http://{ your machine IP }:8000` in your browser, and click **Connect** to enter the Attu service.

## Start Attu with Docker Compose

Using Milvus and Attu in a docker compose environment can be quite helpful for development purposes. If you save the below into a `docker-compose.yml` file, then you can run `docker compose up` to start Milvus and Attu services. Attu will be available at `http://{ your machine IP }:8000` or `localhost:8000`. 

**Note:* Please make sure that your version of Attu is compatible with the version of Milvus that you are running. In the example below we have Milvus v2.4.12 and Attu v2.4.8.
