Solr on Docker
86 stars 40 forks source link

Instructions are incomplete for single node #6

In the instructions you explain how to create a collection for cloud deployment, but not how to create a core in single node (default) mode. Without a core Solr is useless. Using the admin interface I was not able to create a core, but I managed to do it with exec:

bin/solr create_core -c gettingstarted

I think it will be helpful to add this line to the instructions, for people who are trying out Solr for the first time.

As elwebmaster says:

Right. Solr used to come with a default collection, but not anymore.

Using the admin interface I was not able to create a core

There is an issue open for that: SOLR-4461

I think it will be helpful to add this line to the instructions

Agreed. I've added that, plus some data loading examples.

Thanks for your suggestion
