Qdrant Sync
lanjak22 downloadsSyncs this vault to a self-hosted Qdrant collection instead of Obsidian Sync/CouchDB - every note is embedded for semantic search from agent tooling too.
- Overview
- Scorecard
- Updates4
Sync your Obsidian vault across devices using a self-hosted Qdrant instance instead of Obsidian Sync, iCloud, or a CouchDB setup. Every note also gets embedded, so the same collection doubles as a semantic search index you can query from outside Obsidian.
What you need
- A Qdrant instance that's reachable from every device you want to sync (a VPS, a home server behind a reverse proxy/tunnel, whatever - it just needs a public URL and API key auth turned on).
- An embedding server that speaks the llama.cpp
/embeddingendpoint, also reachable from every device. Point it at any embedding model you like; 768-dim models are the default assumption but you can change the collection's vector size to match whatever you run. - A collection created in Qdrant ahead of time, sized to your embedding model's output dimension, cosine distance.
Obsidian Sync, CouchDB, Syncthing - none of that is needed. This plugin talks to Qdrant directly over HTTP or HTTPS from inside Obsidian, so it works on desktop and mobile.
Install
Search for "Qdrant Sync" in Obsidian's community plugins browser and install it from there.
Alternatively, install manually:
- Download
main.jsandmanifest.jsonfrom the latest release. - Drop them into
<your vault>/.obsidian/plugins/qdrant-sync/. - Enable community plugins in Obsidian, then enable "Qdrant Sync".
Setup
Open the plugin settings and fill in:
- Qdrant URL - your Qdrant instance's address.
- Qdrant API key - whatever you set
QDRANT__SERVICE__API_KEYto on the server. - Embedding server URL - your llama.cpp embedding server's address.
- Collection name - defaults to
obsidian_notes.
Do this on every device you want synced, pointing at the same Qdrant instance and collection. First sync on a new device, run the "Pull changes from Qdrant now" command to pull everything down.
How sync works, briefly
Last-write-wins by modification time. No conflict resolution beyond that, so if you edit the same note offline on two devices at once, whichever save lands later wins. Fine for a single person across a few devices; not built for real-time collaborative editing.
