Deploy Qdrant on Your VPS
Deploy Qdrant on your VPS in one click. A high-performance vector database for semantic search, recommendations, and RAG — with an API key set for you and a web dashboard.
Qdrant is the vector database behind a lot of production RAG. Written in Rust, it stores embeddings alongside filterable JSON payloads, so you can combine semantic similarity with ordinary conditions — "closest to this meaning, but only from this customer, in the last 30 days". It has clients for Python, JavaScript, Go, and Rust, and a built-in dashboard for browsing collections.
Vessl deploys it with an API key already generated and enforced. That matters: Qdrant ships unauthenticated, so an instance on a public domain without a key is one anyone can read, write, or wipe. Pass the key as the `api-key` header from your app, or paste it into the dashboard at /dashboard.
What's included
- API key generated and enforced — never exposed unauthenticated
- Filterable payloads: combine vector similarity with normal conditions
- Built-in web dashboard for browsing and querying collections
- Official Python, JavaScript, Go, and Rust clients
- Persistent volume so collections survive redeploys
Common use cases
- Retrieval layer for a RAG pipeline over your own documents
- Semantic search across products, tickets, or a knowledge base
- Recommendations and similarity matching in your own app
Frequently asked questions
Is my Qdrant instance protected?
Yes. Qdrant has no authentication by default, so this template generates an API key and enforces it — every request, including the dashboard, needs it. Copy the key from the deploy form before launching.
How do I connect from my app?
Point any Qdrant client at your public URL and pass the API key. Apps in the same Vessl project can also reach it directly over the internal network, keeping traffic off the public internet.
What about gRPC?
The REST API and dashboard are served on the public domain. gRPC (port 6334) is bound to the host locally rather than exposed publicly, since the domain fronts a single HTTP port.
