Alfresco Search Services 1.4 is based in SOLR 6, but this product includes some additional folder for storage that should be managed when installing:
Using the ZIP Distribution file
When installing Alfresco Search Services from the ZIP Distribution file, using an external volume for the storage is a common scenario.
The following approach will provide a single parent folder for every storage resource.
$ cd /opt $ unzip alfresco-search-services-1.4.2.zip $ cd alfresco-search-services $ sed -i 's/alfresco.secureComms=https/alfresco.secureComms=none/' solrhome/templates/rerank/conf/solrcore.properties $ mv solrhome cores $ mkdir solrhome $ mv cores solrhome $ ./solr/bin/solr start -a "-Dcreate.alfresco.defaults=alfresco,archive -Ddata.dir.root=/opt/alfresco-search-services/solrhome/data" -s /opt/alfresco-search-services/solrhome/cores -f $ tree -L 1 solrhome solrhome ├── contentstore ├── cores └── data
Once these steps are applied, every required file will be available under /opt/alfresco/solrhome folder. This will help to backup operations and external volume mounts.
Using Docker Compose
When using Docker Compose, storage folders can be mounted in your local storage using a similar approach.
version: "2" services: solr6: image: alfresco/alfresco-search-services:1.4.2.2 mem_limit: 1200m environment: #Solr needs to know how to register itself with Alfresco SOLR_ALFRESCO_HOST: "alfresco" SOLR_ALFRESCO_PORT: "8080" ALFRESCO_SECURE_COMMS: none #Alfresco needs to know how to call solr SOLR_SOLR_HOST: "solr6" SOLR_SOLR_PORT: "8983" #Create the default alfresco and archive cores SOLR_CREATE_ALFRESCO_DEFAULTS: "alfresco,archive" SOLR_JAVA_MEM: "-Xms1g -Xmx1g" ports: - 8083:8983 volumes: - ./solr-data/contentstore:/opt/alfresco-search-services/contentstore - ./solr-data/data:/opt/alfresco-search-services/data
With this configuration, every required storage file will be available under solr-data folder. Configuration files in /opt/alfresco-search-services/solrhome will be still available internally in the Docker container, but you can also mount them externally if required.
