---

Features

• Preconfigured solrconfig.xml with /suggest handler
• Basic Authentication enabled via security.json
• Docker-based setup (single-node standalone Solr)
• Ready-to-index custom cores and schema
• Minimal setup for future customization

---

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repo

git clone https://github.com/muthu-kumar-u/apache-solr-boilerplate-standalone.git
cd apache-solr-boilerplate-standalone

Run

Start Solr with Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d

Default Basic Auth Credentials

username = test-user
password = Test@123

You can modify this in the security.json file under security.

Dynamic Core Creation via .env (rename the .env.sample file as .env)

This boilerplate includes an entrypoint script that automatically creates Solr cores based on environment variables defined in a .env file.
