As of 21.03, Ratel is no longer bundled in with the Docker container that contains Dgraph. The reasons for doing this is to make the containers a bit smaller. In the meantime you can use [play.dgraph.io](http://play.dgraph.io) as the ratel frontend. Or you can download Ratel and use it as a standalone program.
