How to get version 8 running?

[zopyx]

The installation instructions for collective.solr 8 are broken

$ wget https://github.com/collective/collective.solr/raw/master/solr.cfg
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/collective/collective.solr/master/solr-4.10.x.cfg

references to non-existing URLs.

@zopyx thanks for reporting! I guess this should be like this:

Add a new solr section to your existing buildout:

[solr]
recipe = kitconcept.recipe.solr
src = http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/7.7.2/solr-7.7.2.tgz
solr-config = etc/solr
port = 8983

Fetch the solr-config:

rsync -avz https://github.com/kitconcept/kitconcept.recipe.solr/tree/master/config/ etc/solr/

Run buildout and start solr with:

bin/solr-start

Haven't checked this. Just from the top of my head...

Disclaimer: do not use kitconcept.recipe.solr in production. It is not meant for testing and dev only. Rely on Ansible or any other provisioning tool you like.

@zopyx ok, just realized, you can not really rsync from github. :/

Ideally, we'd amend the Solr recipe to work without any downloaded Solr config. Though, I never came around doing so...

@zopyx I created a gist: https://gist.github.com/tisto/26a0ec4d497d77452a96e98a7bd8be05

give it a shot...

@zopyx
this buildout did the job, but with python3.8 there is a bug in maintenance.py of collective.solr. the import of from time import clock is deprecated.
