juampynr/solr_drupal repository overview

⁠Apache Solr 1.4 for Drupal's apachesolr module

https://www.drupal.org/project/apachesolr⁠ requires Apache Solr 1.4 or 3.5. These two have compilation issues with the Java version that comes with Ubuntu 16.

If you find compilation errors while running Solr locally, try this image instead.

The Solr server at the image already contains the configuration files referenced at the Drupal module's README⁠ so you should be ready to install apachesolr module, open config/search/apachesolr/settings/solr/edit and set http://0.0.0.0:8983/solr as the Solr server.

⁠Usage

# First run: downloads the image and makes it available at http://0.0.0.0:8983/solr.
docker run -it --name=solr_drupal -p 8983:8983 juampynr/solr_drupal

# Stop the server
docker stop solr_drupal

# Start again the server (keeping the index data from the previous run)
docker start solr_drupal

Happy indexing!

⁠Debugging

While the container is running, you can enter it in a different terminal with the following command:

docker exec -it solr_drupal bash
