ixis/alpine-solr repository overview

This image is based off the official Solr image with modifications to work under Alpine Linux.

https://hub.docker.com/r/library/solr/⁠

⁠How to use this Docker image

To run a single Solr server:

SOLR_CONTAINER=$(docker run -d -p 8983:8983 -t alpine-solr)

Then with a web browser go to http://hostname:8983/ to see the Admin Console (adjust the hostname for your docker host).

To use Solr, you need to create a "core", an index for your data. For example:

docker exec -it --user=solr $SOLR_CONTAINER bin/solr create_core -c gettingstarted

In the web UI if you click on "Core Admin" you should now see the "gettingstarted" core.

If you want to load some example data:

docker exec -it --user=solr $SOLR_CONTAINER bin/post -c gettingstarted example/exampledocs/manufacturers.xml

In the UI, find the "Core selector" popup menu and select the "gettingstarted" core, then select the "Query" menu item. This gives you a default search for ":" which returns all docs. Hit the "Execute Query" button, and you should see a few docs with data. Congratulations!
