services:
  solr:
    image: solr:8.11.4
    ports:

Use Docker Compose to run a Solr server.

sudo docker compose up -d

Docker Volumes

List Docker volumes.

sudo ls -la /var/lib/docker/volumes

List Solr cores.

sudo ls -la /var/lib/docker/volumes/solr_in_docker_data/_data/data

Copy your core into the data directory.

sudo rsync -r --progress /home/null/Desktop/your-core /var/lib/docker/volumes/solr_in_docker_data/_data/data

Change ownership of the core.

sudo chown -R 8983:8983 /var/lib/docker/volumes/solr_in_docker_data/_data/data/your-core

The Solr UI

Access the Solr UI in a browser.

The docker-compose.yml mapped 127.0.0.1:8983 on the host to the container port. You can access the Solr server's UI using the mapped IP and port.

Manage Docker

Start docker.

sudo systemctl start docker

List all images.

sudo docker image ls -a

List all containers.

sudo docker container ls -a

Restart a container.

sudo docker container restart '<CONTAINER ID>'

Remove all containers and images.

sudo docker container rm -f $(sudo docker container ls -qa); sudo docker image rm -f $(sudo docker image ls -qa)

Remove all containers, images, and volumes.

sudo docker container rm -f $(sudo docker container ls -qa); sudo docker image rm -f $(sudo docker image ls -qa); sudo docker volume rm -f $(sudo docker volume ls)
