Disabling dashboard without using API key?

[timheuer]

Is there a way to disable the dashboard completely (not just secure using API key)?

Though we don't have a simple toggle to disable it, there is a way to do it.

You can configure service.static_content_dir to some path that does not exist. It'll try to serve the dashboard files from there. If there's nothing there it'll disable the dashboard. You can set this in the config.yaml.

Alternatively you can set QDRANT__SERVICE__STATIC_CONTENT_DIR=/nothing as environment variable to achieve the same.

If you're running a binary that you've compiled yourself, you can simply remove any static directory you might have in that same directory.

Thank you, on Discord it was suggested QDRANT__SERVICE__ENABLE_STATIC_CONTENT=0 which also worked for me.

That option is better.

I wasn't aware we had it available. Happy to see you got it resolved. 👍
