Installing & configuring Apache Solr (for testing only)

To search and index data, the eperi sEcure Platform uses the open source search platform Apache Solr. For testing purposes you may install and configure Apache Solr in Cloud Mode on the same server as eperi sEcure Platform.

1. Connect to the target server using your preferred ssh tool (e.g., PuTTY) and log in.
2. Become the root user:

   sudo su -

3. Install the Java 11 runtime (e.g. the OpenJDK 11 JRE):
   For Ubuntu:

   add-apt-repository ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
   apt update
   apt install openjdk-11-jre

   For RHEL:

   dnf install java-11-openjdk.x86_64

4. Download the Solr archive to the /opt directory:

   cd /opt
   wget "http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/8.3.1/solr-8.3.1.tgz"

5. Extract the Solr distribution archive:

   tar zxf solr-8.3.1.tgz

6. Start SolrCloud in Cloud mode with all the default settings:

   solr-8.3.1/bin/solr -cloud -noprompt -force

7. Perform the steps as described in section Configuring the Solr services in eperi sEcure Platform.
