Solr

If you've enabled your local Solr Cloud instance by setting the solr flag in your Docker Compose Profiles environment variable, you'll have a local Solr Cloud instance setup automatically.

Local Development

Default Solr Cloud Credentials

You can access the Solr web ui at http://solr.dflocal.net:8000 with solr and SolrRocks as the user/pass respectively.

Do not use these credentials in production

The credentials and certificates in Dropfort Build are from the Apache Solr documentation examples and should not be used in production

Versions of Solr

You can control the version of solr installed by setting the SOLR_VERSION variable in your docker/.env file.

For example:

SOLR_VERSION=9

Will download the latest Solr 9.x container.

Deployed Releases

Dropfort can automatically manage the Solr host, username and password for any Search API Solr 4.x backend automatically. You can set the DF_DRUPAL_SEARCH_API_SOLR_MANAGED_BACKENDS with a comma separated list of config backend machine names and Dropfort will set the host to DF_DRUPAL_SOLR_HOST, username to DF_DRUPAL_SOLR_USER and password to DF_DRUPAL_SOLR_PASSWORD for each backend.

E.g.

DF_DRUPAL_SEARCH_API_SOLR_MANAGED_BACKENDS='default_solr_server,other_solr_server'

Automatically sets

$managed_solr_backends = getenv('DF_DRUPAL_SEARCH_API_SOLR_MANAGED_BACKENDS') ?: '';
$managed_solr_backends = trim($managed_solr_backends);
if (!empty($managed_solr_backends)) {
  $managed_solr_host = getenv('DF_DRUPAL_SOLR_HOST');
  $managed_solr_user = getenv('DF_DRUPAL_SOLR_USER');
  $managed_solr_password = getenv('DF_DRUPAL_SOLR_PASSWORD');
  $managed_solr_servers = explode(',', $managed_solr_backends);
  foreach($managed_solr_servers as $managed_server) {
    $config['search_api.server.' . $managed_server]['backend_config']['connector'] = 'solr_cloud_basic_auth';
    $config['search_api.server.' . $managed_server]['backend_config']['connector_config']['host'] = $managed_solr_host;
    $config['search_api.server.' . $managed_server]['backend_config']['connector_config']['username'] = $managed_solr_user;
    $config['search_api.server.' . $managed_server]['backend_config']['connector_config']['password'] = $managed_solr_password;
  }
}

in your settings.auto.php file or settings.php in containerized deployments.

Kubernetes Deployments

For Kubernetes releases the host, username and password env variables are automatically added. You only need to provide the DF_DRUPAL_SEARCH_API_SOLR_MANAGED_BACKENDS environment variable in your deployment configuration. You can do so through https://api.dropfort.com or in your k8s/<env>/<site>.yml file in the source repo under the extraEnvVars section.
