Docker based indexing

[fils]

When running the docker version of the loader I tried

 docker run -ti --rm -v "/data/imports/data:/opt/data" -e "SOLR_URL=http://solr:8983/solr/ckan" 5b4155878485 indexer.py

Where the 5b4.... is my local image build from the Dockerfile. This fails to connect to the solr endpoint

For reference, with the docker ps we see

The questions are:

• The SOLR_URL wont work will it (I get a connection error) since that is an internal docker network address?
• Can I connect a docker container to the established network that container (solr) is part of? Which I think in our case is oih-ui-docker_solr so the connection can be made?
• Do I need just need to expose solr to a host port to enable this indexing (I'm sure that would work, but would be nice to avoid)
• Is there an oih_api proxied endpoint that routes me back into solr?

Thanks

I think if you're doing this on the docker level (vs docker-compose) you will need to either expose a port to the host (e.g., -p 127.0.0.1:8159:8159) or you'll need to add a --network specification to the docker run command that you're using that will connect your docker container to the network that's in use for the solr container.

docker network ls and docker inspect [containerid] might be useful commands to figure out how to connect them.
