To launch Qdrant using Docker, run the following command:

docker run -p 6333:6333 -p 6334:6334 \
    -v $(pwd)/qdrant_storage:/qdrant/storage:z \
    qdrant/qdrant

This will:

• Start Qdrant on port 6333 (REST API) and 6334 (gRPC)
• Mount the qdrant_storage directory for persistent storage
• Use the official Qdrant Docker image

Once started, you can verify Qdrant is running by visiting:

• Web UI: http://localhost:6333/dashboard
• API endpoint: http://localhost:6333

To stop the Qdrant container:

docker ps  # Find the container ID
docker stop <container_id>
