Vector Database Integration​

Milvus Configuration for DDEV​

The platform includes Milvus vector database integration optimized for DDEV development environments:

# docker-compose.milvus.yaml
version: '3.8'

services:
  milvus:
    image: milvusdb/milvus:v2.3.3
    container_name: ddev-milvus
    command: ["milvus", "run", "standalone"]
    environment:
      ETCD_USE_EMBED: "true"
      ETCD_DATA_DIR: "/var/lib/milvus/etcd"
      ETCD_CONFIG_PATH: "/milvus/configs/etcd.yaml"
      MILVUS_DATA_DIR: "/var/lib/milvus"
    volumes:
      - milvus_data:/var/lib/milvus
    ports:
      - "19530:19530"
      - "9091:9091"
    networks:
      - ddev_default
    restart: unless-stopped
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "curl", "-f", "http://localhost:9091/healthz"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 40s

volumes:
  milvus_data:
    driver: local

networks:
  ddev_default:
    external: true

Milvus Integration Features​

  • DDEV Network Integration: Connects to existing DDEV network
  • Persistent Storage: Data persists across container restarts
  • Health Monitoring: Built-in health checks for reliability

Usage with Drupal Platform​

# Add to DDEV project
cp docker-compose.milvus.yaml .ddev/docker-compose.milvus.yaml

# Start DDEV with Milvus
ddev start

# Verify Milvus connection
curl http://localhost:9091/healthz
