This Solr docker module creates both a local Docker image from the source as well as the official Solr Dockerfile. This allows for local images to be completely compatible with the official Solr images available on DockerHub.
In order to build/test/tag your Docker images using local Solr source code, please refer to ./gradlew helpDocker in a git checkout or a source-release download.
Please refer to the Solr Reference Guide for information on using the Solr Docker image.
Officially-compliant Docker images can be built directly from the Solr binary distribution (i.e. solr-<version>.tgz). A Dockerfile is included in the binary distribution, under solr-<version>/docker/Dockerfile, and is the same one used when building a docker image via Gradle.
To build the Docker image, pass the Solr TGZ as the Docker context and provide the path of the Dockerfile. Note, that Docker will accept either a URL or a local TGZ file, but each require slightly different syntax. Therefore custom Solr releases or official releases can be used to create custom Solr images.
docker build -f solr-X.Y.Z/docker/Dockerfile - < solr-X.Y.Z.tgz docker build -f solr-X.Y.Z/docker/Dockerfile https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/solr/X.Y.Z/solr-X.Y.Z.tgz
When building the image, Solr accepts arguments for customization. Currently only one argument is accepted:
BASE_IMAGE: Change the base java image for Solr. This can be used to change java versions, jvms, etc.docker build --build-arg BASE_IMAGE=custom/jdk:17-slim -f solr-X.Y.Z/docker/Dockerfile https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/solr/X.Y.Z/solr-X.Y.Z.tgz
Please refer to the dev-docs in apache/solr-docker for information on how the Official Solr Dockerfile is maintained & released.
