Solr Docker

Sample Dockerfiles for running Solr in a docker container. With this approach we have separated the service and configuration into two containers. This allows our team to re-use the base solr container across many projects. The configuration for any core(s) happens in a separate core container which is layered on the first. Settings are exposed via environment variables which may be overridden in the core container.

Running

1. Build / find a JRE 8 container (update the solr/Dockerfile to point at this container)

2. Build the solr container

   cd solr
   docker build -t solr:5.3.0-1 .

3. Build the core container

   cd core
   docker build -t solr-core .

4. Run the container

   docker run -P solr-core
