Running SOLR in Docker - tooltwist/documentation GitHub Wiki

Steps used by Phil to set up a SOLR example.

1. Get the IP address of boot2docker

    $ boot2docker ip
    192.168.59.103              <-- remember this
   

2. Start a docker container.

    $ docker run --name my-solr -it -d -p 8983:8983 -t makuk66/docker-solr
   

3. Log in to the SOLR container.

    $ docker exec -it my-solr /bin/bash
   

4. Load example data.

    $ cd /opt/solr
    $ bin/solr create -c philcal   <-- replace this "core name" if you wish
    $ bin/post -c philcal example/exampledocs/*.json
   

5. Run a search in your browser. For example http://192.168.59.103:8983/solr/philcal/select?q=Greek. Replace the IP address as required, to match the boot2docker ip noted in step 1.

6. Similarly, the admin UI can be accessed at http://192.168.59.103:8983/solr/#/.

If this is working fine, your Docker container can be used to run and administer SOLR in the normal SOLR manner.
