Apache Solr is a popular and powerful search platform based on Apache Lucene that provides indexing and search capabilities for websites and other applications. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the steps to install Apache Solr on NetBSD.
Before you start, make sure that your NetBSD environment meets the following prerequisites:
To start the installation of Apache Solr, you need to download the software package from the official website. Navigate to the Apache Solr download page https://lucene.apache.org/solr/downloads.html and select the latest version of the software package that is compatible with NetBSD.
sudo mkdir /usr/local/solr
sudo chmod 777 /usr/local/solr
cd /usr/local/solr
sudo curl -L -O https://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/8.8.2/solr-8.8.2.tgz
sudo tar -xzf solr-8.8.2.tgz --strip-components=1
A Solr core is a basic logical unit in Apache Solr that contains configuration and data files for a particular search application. You can create a Solr core using the bin/solr script provided with the Solr installation.
cd /usr/local/solr/bin
sudo ./solr start
sudo ./solr create_core -c test_core
You can test the Apache Solr installation on NetBSD by accessing the Solr web interface using the URL http://localhost:8983/solr/. This will open the Solr Admin Console where you can manage the Solr Core and execute search queries.
sudo ./solr stop
sudo ./solr start
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Apache Solr on NetBSD. You can now use the Solr Admin Console web interface to configure the Solr Core and start creating search applications. If you encounter any issues, refer to the Solr documentation or seek help from the Solr community.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
