Creating a Qdrant Database
This page covers the configuration specific to Qdrant — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode
Select the topology under Database Mode:
- Standalone — A single-node Qdrant instance.
- Distributed — A multi-node Qdrant cluster that shards collections across nodes for scale and availability.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of Replicas | Number of nodes in the distributed cluster (e.g., 3). Required for Distributed. |
Qdrant Settings
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Storage Type | Durable (persistent volumes) or Ephemeral (no persistence). |
| Disable Security | Run without API-key authentication (development only). |
| Halted | Create the instance in a halted (stopped) state. |
| TLS | Enable TLS for Client and/or P2P (inter-node) traffic, signed by the selected Issuer. |
