Apache Solr is a powerful and highly scalable search engine platform that is widely used in various industries to provide search capabilities for websites, applications, and other data sources. In this tutorial, we will discuss step-by-step instructions for installing Apache Solr on the latest version of Fedora CoreOS.
Before installing Apache Solr on Fedora CoreOS, make sure that your system meets the following requirements:
The first step in installing Apache Solr is to ensure that OpenJDK is installed on your Fedora CoreOS system. OpenJDK is an open-source implementation of the Java Development Kit (JDK), and it is required to run Apache Solr.
To install OpenJDK, run the following command:
sudo dnf install java-11-openjdk-devel
Next, you need to download and extract the Apache Solr binary distribution archive from the official Apache Solr website.
To download Apache Solr, run the following command:
wget https://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/8.10.0/solr-8.10.0.tgz
Once the download is complete, extract the archive to the preferred location on your system, for example, /opt/:
sudo tar -xvf solr-8.10.0.tgz -C /opt/
After extracting the archive, you should see a new directory named 'solr-8.10.0' in your '/opt/' directory.
Now that Apache Solr has been downloaded and extracted, we can start the Solr server by running the 'solr' script located in the 'bin' directory of the Solr installation:
sudo /opt/solr-8.10.0/bin/solr start
This command will start the Solr server in the background, and you should see a message similar to the following:
Started Solr server on port 8983 (pid=12345). Happy searching!
To verify that Solr is running correctly, open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:
http://localhost:8983/solr/#/
If everything is set up correctly, you should see the Solr web interface in your browser, and you can start using Solr for your search requirements.
In this tutorial, we have discussed how to install Apache Solr on Fedora CoreOS latest version. We have covered the steps required to download and extract the Solr binary archive, install OpenJDK, start the Solr server, and verify the installation. Apache Solr is a powerful tool for providing search capabilities to your applications or websites, and with the instructions provided in this tutorial, you should be able to get started quickly and easily with Solr on your Fedora CoreOS system.
