Qdrant Vector Database on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

Qdrant is a high-performance vector database and similarity search engine for embeddings — the retrieval layer for RAG, semantic search and recommendations. This image gives you a production-ready deployment within minutes of first boot — no dependency wrangling, no manual hardening checklist. Published and maintained by Derek Coleman & Associates Inc: freshly rebuilt against current security advisories and deployable straight from the Azure Marketplace into your own subscription.

Version: Qdrant 1.18.2Platform: Ubuntu 24.04 LTSPorts: 6333 (REST API), 6334 (gRPC) — API key required on bothCategory: AI & GPU

What's included

Qdrant installed from the official upstream source
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base with automatic security updates enabled
No shared or default passwords — a unique admin credential is generated on your VM at first boot
Trusted Launch support: Secure Boot + vTPM
Azure Monitor Agent, Defender for Cloud, and Update Manager install cleanly

Quick start

Deploy from the Azure Marketplace (Get It Now → Create), choosing your SSH key at the Administration step.
Allow inbound SSH (22) for yourself plus the application port(s): 6333 (REST) and 6334 (gRPC) — to your application clients only — restrict to your own IP where possible. The in-image firewall already allows them; only the Network Security Group (NSG) keeps them closed.
Read the API key (see First login below) and create your first collection with a PUT to /collections/<name>.
Point your embedding pipeline or client library at http://<VM-IP>:6333 with the api-key header.

Get your admin password (one time)

ssh <your-username>@<VM-IP>
sudo cat /root/qdrant-admin-credentials.txt

Authentication is an API key (api-key header), not a username/password. The web dashboard at http://<VM-IP>:6333/dashboard also asks for it.

Common use cases

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) backends
Semantic and hybrid search
Recommendation and deduplication
Embedding storage with filtering

Why our images

Freshly rebuilt against the latest security advisories, no shared default credentials, Trusted Launch support, and automatic OS security updates — everything runs in your own Azure subscription under your governance.
