Documented steps

  1. Auth: None by default for a local single-node Docker instance; API-key auth is opt-in (see the Qdrant security route).
  2. Pull the image: docker pull qdrant/qdrant
  3. Run the container with REST (6333), gRPC (6334), and a persistent volume mounted to /qdrant/storage: docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 -v "$(pwd)/qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage:z" qdrant/qdrant
  4. Confirm the REST API is up: curl http://localhost:6333 (welcome message)
  5. Use dedicated health probes for automation: curl http://localhost:6333/healthz (200 'healthz check passed'); Kubernetes-style /livez and /readyz also available
  6. Open the built-in dashboard at http://localhost:6333/dashboard for manual inspection
  7. Official docs: https://qdrant.tech/documentation/quickstart/ ; https://qdrant.tech/documentation/installation/ ; https://api.qdrant.tech/v-1-16-x/api-reference/service/healthz
