Local tutorial corrections #149

Description

Describe the bug
Local tutorial on a fresh Mac doesn't work, it needs additional steps.

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • Operating System and Version: macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina)
  • Hardware: Macbook Pro 2015 / i7 2.6GHz / 32 GB RAM

Additions & corrections to the tutorial

  • before calling brew cask install docker-edge the following was required, otherwise brew couldn't find this cask:
    brew tap homebrew/cask-versions

  • when you first run the Docker.app you need to check "Enable Kubernetes" in the Kubernetes tab, and "Apply & Restart".

  • "visiting the Kubernetes dashboard" - for a Kubernetes newbie this is totally cryptic, it should probably direct the user to the later section on installing the dashboard.

  • "Create a collection" section should probably add ?commit=true when indexing new docs to make them immediately visible for searching. For Solr newbies it may be confusing that search will still return 0 docs for a while.

  • following the example "scaling up" section, adding more (docker) replicas resulted in some instability - occasionally instead of 5 it would show 4 nodes, and the kubectl proxy would show:
    http: proxy error: context canceled
