Adjust, if needed :

• The name of your network interface, in my case it's em1
• The name of the image, it should be solr-dovecot if you used the command and gave above or mrraph/docker-solr_dovecot if you pulled the image form the Hub
• The static IP address

Finaly, fire up the container using the script solr_satic_ip.sh.

# ./solr_satic_ip.sh

⁠Dovecot configuration to use Solr

Install the required package, in Ubuntu :

# apt-get install dovecot-solr

Edit the following file :

# vi /etc/dovecot/conf.d/90-plugin.conf

Add the following lines at the end of the file :

mail_plugins = $mail_plugins fts fts_solr
plugin {
  fts = solr
  fts_solr = url=http://10.0.0.1:8983/solr/ break-imap-search
