This task is to deploy VIVO with an externalized Solr, which itself has been deployed via its own Docker container.

Documentation: https://hub.docker.com/_/solr

Deploy Solr Docker container: $ docker run -d -p 8983:8983 -v /tmp/awoods/vivocore:/vivocore solr solr-create -c vivocore -d /vivocore

Notes:

• First -d : run detached container in background
• -p : map container ports to host
• -v : mount /tmp/awoods/vivocore to /vivocore in container
• solr : name of standard solr image
• solr-create : provided script run in the container to create a new core
• -c : name of new core to create
• -d : directory in container for Solr configuration

Solr configuration found in /tmp/awoods/vivocore:

• https://github.com/awoods/vivo-solr/tree/master/vivocore

VIVO: Using branches:

• https://github.com/vivo-project/VIVO/tree/sprint-search
• https://github.com/vivo-project/Vitro/tree/sprint-search

Configure runtime.properties with:

• vitro.local.solr.url = http://localhost:8983/solr/vivocore

Tried the recipe above.  I am on a Windows machine and using Docker Desktop.  I had to ensure that MySQL service wasn't running in the background.  The first time, the Solr smoke test provides a warning but that appears to be related to it taking a little longer to start sometimes.  Doing docker-compose down followed by docker-compose up handled that. Solr was accessible and populated with the data being added to the interface.
