Quick start tutorial in Python gives timeout error while creating collection

[kdubba]

Hi all,
I am trying to move from Weaviate and thought I will give Qdrant a go. I started the local server using docker. Then created a client in Python and when I try to create a collection, it gives me a timeout error. I can see the collection being created in the localhost web dashboard. The tutorial is here: https://qdrant.tech/documentation/quick-start/

Here is the error. Am I doing anything wrong? I just copy pasted the code the quick start tutorial.

client.create_collection(collection_name="testing_collection", vectors_config=VectorParams(size=100, distance=Distance.COSINE))

Hey @kdubba, could you please confirm that the docker container is running and the service is available on http://localhost:6333/dashboard ?

[kdubba]

@generall I confirm that the service is available, and the command does create the collection, but in my terminal, it gives the above error, which is strange.
