Solr is highly reliable, scalable and fault tolerant, providing distributed indexing, replication and load-balanced querying, automated failover and recovery, centralized configuration and more. Solr powers the search and navigation features of many of the world's largest internet sites.
Learn more on Apache Solr homepage and in the Apache Solr Reference Guide.
To run a single Solr server:
docker run -d -p 8983:8983 -t makuk66/docker-solr
Then with a web browser go to http://localhost:8983/ to see the Admin Console (adjust the hostname for your docker host).
To simulate a distributed Solr configuration ("SolrCloud" mode) in a single container, run the "cloud" example:
docker run -d -p 8983:8983 -p 7574:7574 makuk66/docker-solr \
/bin/bash -c "/opt/solr/bin/solr -e cloud -noprompt; while true ; do sleep 3600; done"
This will take a minute or so to start. You can follow along with docker logs -f CONTAINER.
You can also run a distributed Solr configuration, with Solr nodes in separate containers, sharing a single ZooKeeper server:
Run ZooKeeper, and define a name so we can link to it:
docker run --name zookeeper -d -p 2181:2181 -p 2888:2888 -p 3888:3888 jplock/zookeeper
Run two Solr nodes, linked to the zookeeper container:
docker run --name solr1 --link zookeeper:ZK -d -p 8983:8983 \
makuk66/docker-solr \
bash -c '/opt/solr/bin/solr start -f -z $ZK_PORT_2181_TCP_ADDR:$ZK_PORT_2181_TCP_PORT'
docker run --name solr2 --link zookeeper:ZK -d -p 8984:8983 \
makuk66/docker-solr \
bash -c '/opt/solr/bin/solr start -f -z $ZK_PORT_2181_TCP_ADDR:$ZK_PORT_2181_TCP_PORT'
Create a collection:
docker exec -i -t solr1 /opt/solr/bin/solr create_collection -c collection1 -shards 2 -p 8983
Then go to http://localhost:8983/solr/#/~cloud (adjust the hostname for your docker host) to see the two shards and Solr nodes.
