Apache Solr Add-On for DDEV (standalone)

This DDEV add-on provides a Solr standalone (no cloud) service for DDEV and creates Solr cores according to the configuration defined in .ddev/typo3-solr/config.yaml.

This add-on is meant to be a simple integration for DDEV, as it does not work with Solr Cloud and only for Solr standalone. Most web projects use Solr in standalone-mode so this add-on simulates this behaviour for local environments.

Installation

ddev get ddev/ddev-typo3-solr && ddev restart

Configuration

Create cores and its configuration

Configuration example for TYPO3 in .ddev/typo3-solr/config.yaml:

config: 'vendor/apache-solr-for-typo3/solr/Resources/Private/Solr/solr.xml'
configsets:
    - name: "ext_solr_12_0_0"
      path: "vendor/apache-solr-for-typo3/solr/Resources/Private/Solr/configsets/ext_solr_12_0_0"
      cores:
          - name: "core_en"
            schema: "english/schema.xml"
          - name: "core_de"
            schema: "german/schema.xml"

ddev solrctl apply

To ensure the cores are created automatically on boot, add the following hook to your .ddev/config.yaml:

hooks:
  post-start:
    - exec-host: ddev solrctl apply

Example configuration for TYPO3

To connect to the solr service you have to configure the following lines in your site configuration:

solr_enabled_read: true
solr_host_read: <your-site>.ddev.site
solr_path_read: /
solr_port_read: '8984'
solr_scheme_read: https

Delete cores and its configuration

ddev solrctl wipe

[!NOTE] After running wipe, it may take a few seconds until files are synced which may cause issues when running apply straight after wipe.

Running the solr control script
