Steps To Build, Run, Test

Install Docker and Docker Compose via docker official website

None of the below will work until you complete this step.

First Create docker image for the spring-solar-example app

Run the following command inside the repo folder: mvn clean package docker:build

Grab config files for solr server

Run the following commands while inside git folder to place files in same directory as docker-compose file

This will take the default files from the docker image and place them in a local folder. (https://github.com/docker-solr/docker-solr-examples/tree/master/custom-configset)

docker create --rm --name copier solr

docker cp copier:/opt/solr/server/solr/configsets/_default myconf

docker rm copier

Now you have the folder myconf locally

Create the mycores folder <-- this folder will be empty for now but in the future will have contents

Now you are ready to run the server and spring boot app.

docker-compose up -d <-- -d places it in the background.

if you place in background docker-compose logs -f will tail the logs

Now launch the application after the images download and the app starts

http://localhost:8983/solr/#/ <-- to see the solr UI

http://localhost:8984/employee/random <-- to generate a random amount of employees in the database. Generates [75000,17500) at a time

To Stop the application

From within the repo folder run the following commands

docker-compose stop -t 0

docker-compose rm -vfa
