Deployed Solr for .rtf indexing using instructions at: https://github.com/docker-solr/docker-solr

Created core using:

docker exec -it solr solr create_core -c epo_data

Note this fix to ensure that .rtf files can be indexed using Apache Tika: https://gitmemory.com/issue/docker-solr/docker-solr/341/682877640. Once you’ve created the core, run these commands:

docker exec -ti --user=solr solr bash -c 'cp -r /opt/solr/example/files/conf/* /var/solr/data/{CORE_NAME}/conf/'

docker restart solr

Add files to Solr using:

docker run --rm -v "/Users/ad7588/Downloads/2018 (10381):/2018" --network=host solr:latest post -c epo_data /2018

Note that on Mac the PHP container has to communicate with the Solr container using the hostname ‘host.docker.internal’ rather than ‘localhost’ or ‘127.0.0.1’: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24319662/from-inside-of-a-docker-container-how-do-i-connect-to-the-localhost-of-the-mach

On Ubuntu, you can use the container name e.g. ‘solr’ as the Solr hostname in config.env.
