hipsnip-solr

Chef cookbook for setting up Apache Solr from mirrors.

Requirements

Built to run on Linux distributions. Tested on Ubuntu 12.04.
Depends on the hipsnip-jetty cookbook.

Usage

By default the Jetty server setups thanks to the hipsnip-jetty cookbook set the port number to 8080, so do not forget to override node[:jetty][:port] in your role or env to run the Solr server on the port that you wish (reminder: the standard port for Solr is 8983).
Otherwise you should not need to override others attributes.

You will need to do a couple of things to be up to speed to hack on this cookbook.
Everything is explained here have a look.
