Migrate from Redis to Qdrant What You Need from Redis Redis address — host and port of your Redis instanceFT index name — the RediSearch full-text index that contains your vectorsAuthentication — username and password, if configuredImportant: Redis does not expose vector configurations (dimensions, distance metric) after an index is created. You must create the Qdrant collection manually before running the migration.Concept Mapping Redis Qdrant Notes FT Index Collection One-to-one mapping Document Point Each document becomes a point Vector field Vector Named vectors are preserved Hash/JSON fields Payload Direct mapping Document key Payload field Stored via --qdrant.id-field
Run the Migration docker run --net= host --rm -it registry.cloud.qdrant.io/library/qdrant-migration redis \
--redis.index 'your-ft-index' \
--redis.addr 'localhost:6379' \
--qdrant.url 'https://your-instance.cloud.qdrant.io:6334' \
--qdrant.api-key 'your-qdrant-api-key' \
--qdrant.collection 'your-collection'
With Authentication docker run --net= host --rm -it registry.cloud.qdrant.io/library/qdrant-migration redis \
--redis.index 'your-ft-index' \
--redis.addr 'your-redis-host:6379' \
--redis.username 'your-username' \
--redis.password 'your-password' \
--qdrant.url 'https://your-instance.cloud.qdrant.io:6334' \
--qdrant.api-key 'your-qdrant-api-key' \
--qdrant.collection 'your-collection' \
--migration.create-collection= false
All Redis-Specific Flags Flag Required Description --redis.indexYes RediSearch FT index name --redis.addrNo Redis address (default: localhost:6379) --redis.protocolNo Redis protocol version (default: 2) --redis.usernameNo Username for authentication --redis.passwordNo Password for authentication --redis.client-nameNo Client name --redis.dbNo Database number --redis.networkNo Network type: tcp or unix (default: tcp)
Qdrant-Side Options Flag Default Description --qdrant.id-field__id__Payload field name for original Redis document keys
Gotchas Named vectors: Every vector field becomes a named vector with the field’s name, even when there is only one. Pre-create the collection with a named vector for each field.Next Steps After migration, verify your data arrived correctly with the Migration Verification Guide .
