Introduction

This recipe installs a Solr server with buildout.

It's kept as simple as possible and contrary to collective.recipe.solrinstance it does not generate any Solr configuration files. Instead the user can provide a directory containing custom configuration files. A default set of configuration files for usage with Plone is provided.

You can use it by adding a part like this:

[buildout]
parts = solr

[solr]
recipe = ftw.recipe.solr
cores =
    core1

Supported options

The recipe supports the following options:

host: Name or IP address of the Solr server. Defaults to localhost.
port: Server port. Defaults to 8983.
cores: List of cores that should be created.
url: Url for Solr distribution download.
md5sum: MD5 checksum of Solr distribution.
jvm-opts: Can be used to configure JVM options. Defaults to -Xms512m -Xmx512m -Xss256k
extra-opts: Extra options to pass to the Solr command line (separated by space). Empty by default.
conf: Path to a directory containing Solr configuration files.
conf-egg: If provided, the path given in conf is prepended with the path of the given egg.
shards-whitelist: If specified, this list limits what nodes can be requested in the shards request parameter. See Configuring the ShardHandlerFactory
configoverlay: Provide a configoverlay as documented in https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_4/config-api.html. This will override the default config in solrconfig.xml
