1a40961d62 fix: linkchecker include filter port mismatch (#2242)
* initial commit; fixed anchor links on internal docs pages

* add back in absolute paths for links in code comments

* fix: update linkchecker include filter to match server port 1314

PR #1629 changed the Hugo server to port 1314 but forgot to update
the --include filter, which still matched port 1313. This caused all
links to be excluded, making the checker a no-op (0 checked, 82277 excluded).

* Fix url rewrite regex so images are not impacted

* Fix links from non-documentation pages

* Fix broken links

* more broken links

* more broken links

* broken link

* Add srcset width descriptor to .lycheeignore

* Ignore URLs that contain a % character

* Anchor regex so it matches the entire URL

# Migrate from MongoDB to Qdrant
## What You Need from MongoDB
- **Connection string** — MongoDB URI (e.g., `mongodb://user:pass@host:27017`)
- **Database name** — the database containing your collection
- **Collection name** — the collection to migrate
- **Vector field names** — the names of fields that store vector embeddings
<aside role="alert"><strong>Important:</strong> MongoDB does not expose vector dimensions or distance metrics in a way the tool can read automatically. You must create the Qdrant collection manually before running the migration.</aside>
## Concept Mapping
| MongoDB | Qdrant | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Collection | Collection | One-to-one mapping |
| Document | Point | Each document becomes a point |
| Vector field | Vector | Named vectors are preserved |
| Non-vector fields | Payload | Direct mapping |
| `_id` (ObjectID or string) | Point ID + Payload | Converted to UUID; original stored in payload |
## Run the Migration
```bash
docker run --net=host --rm -it registry.cloud.qdrant.io/library/qdrant-migration mongodb \
--mongodb.url 'mongodb://localhost:27017' \
--mongodb.database 'your-database' \
--mongodb.collection 'your-collection' \
--mongodb.vector-fields 'embedding' \
--qdrant.url 'https://your-instance.cloud.qdrant.io:6334' \
--qdrant.api-key 'your-qdrant-api-key' \
--qdrant.collection 'your-collection'
```
### With Multiple Vector Fields
```bash
docker run --net=host --rm -it registry.cloud.qdrant.io/library/qdrant-migration mongodb \
--mongodb.url 'mongodb+srv://user:pass@cluster.mongodb.net' \
--mongodb.database 'your-database' \
--mongodb.collection 'your-collection' \
--mongodb.vector-fields 'title_embedding,body_embedding' \
--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 MongoDB-Specific Flags
| Flag | Required | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `--mongodb.url` | Yes | MongoDB connection string |
| `--mongodb.database` | Yes | Database name |
| `--mongodb.collection` | Yes | Collection name |
| `--mongodb.vector-fields` | Yes | Comma-separated list of vector field names |
### Qdrant-Side Options
| Flag | Default | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `--qdrant.id-field` | `__id__` | Payload field name for original MongoDB `_id` values |
## Gotchas
- **Vector field names are required:** MongoDB has no schema-level marker for vector fields. You must explicitly list them via `--mongodb.vector-fields`.
- **ID mapping:** MongoDB `_id` values (ObjectID or string) are converted to Qdrant UUIDs. The original value is stored in payload under `--qdrant.id-field`.
## Next Steps
After migration, verify your data arrived correctly with the [Migration Verification Guide](/documentation/migration-guidance/).
