Installing Solr locally

Debian Jessie

Debian Jessie needs backports to get Java 8 working:

echo "deb [check-valid-until=no] http://archive.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jessie-backports.list
apt-get update
apt-get install -t jessie-backports openjdk-8-jre

If you run in to trouble updating, add the following to /etc/apt/apt.conf: Acquire::Check-Valid-Until "false";

Downloading and installing

Taken from https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/7_7/taking-solr-to-production.html

Update to match the required version.

wget http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/lucene/solr/8.1.0/solr-8.1.0.tgz # find your local URL manually
tar xvf solr-8.1.0.tgz solr-8.1.0/bin/install_solr_service.sh --strip-components=2
sudo bash ./install_solr_service.sh solr-8.1.0.tgz

This will install Solr 8.x as a service on your (virtual) machine

Supports

Solr4 backward compatibility is available, default support is Solr6 or higher

Test setup

Create a clean installation of SilverStripe 4 (composer create-project)
Clone this repo in to the folder of your likings
add "solarium/solarium": "^4.2" to your base composer.json
Run a composer update
Create a base index:

class MyIndex extends BaseIndex
{
    /**
     * Called during construction, this is the method that builds the structure.
     * Used instead of overriding __construct as we have specific execution order - code that has
     * to be run before _and/or_ after this.
     * @throws Exception
     */
    public function init()
    {
        $this->addClass(SiteTree::class);

        $this->addFulltextField('Title');
    }
    
    public function getIndexName()
    {
        return 'this-is-my-index';
    }

Run vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/SolrConfigureTask to configure the core
Run vendor/bin/sake dev/tasks/SolrIndexTask to add documents to your index

Happy searching after that... once this is done
