Article What is the Search container image?

The search image provides Solr with the Community-specific cores and configuration.

Prerequisites

Purpose

Use the search container to:

  • host the Community Solr search indexes

Dependencies

search does not require direct Community application services, but the rest of the stack depends on it being available.

Volumes and Ports

  • Container port 8983 serves Solr. It should not need to be publicly forwarded.
  • Solr data is persisted at /var/solr.

Startup Expectations

  • On first startup, the container creates the Community cores if they do not already exist in the data path.
  • Preserve the Solr data path across restarts if you want to retain indexes through a volume mount or bind mount.
