SOLR change shared.properties in Docker image

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble trying to change the SOLR 6 shared.properties file starting from the Docker image.

In particular I would like to enable the cross locale search, so I have my own Dockerfile where I replace the string "# alfresco.cross" with "alfresco.cross", so that it will be uncommented in the resulting file.

FROM alfresco/alfresco-search-services:1.3.0.1 
RUN mv /opt/alfresco-search-services/logs/log4j.properties /opt/alfresco-search-services/log4j.properties 
RUN sed -i 's/LOG4J_PROPS=$SOLR_LOGS_DIR\/log4j.properties/LOG4J_PROPS=$SOLR_LOGS_DIR\/..\/log4j.properties/g' /opt/alfresco-search-services/solr.in.sh 
RUN sed -i 's/# alfresco.cross/alfresco.cross/g' /opt/alfresco-search-services/solrhome/conf/shared.properties && cat /opt/alfresco-search-services/solrhome/conf/shared.properties  
RUN cat /opt/alfresco-search-services/solrhome/conf/shared.properties

Below the output that I get:

As you can see when I run the "cat" the first time the properties get uncommented, but when I run it a second time the file hasn't changed.

What am I doing wrong? 

Can I pass these properties to the SOLR_OPTS instead, so that I can leave the shared.properties unchanged?

Thank you in advance.

Re: SOLR change shared.properties in Docker image

In the end I created a configmap in Kubernetes and mounted it as a volume to override the configuration. Howevere, I would like to know anyways how to perform this operation because it can be useful when starting Alfresco using Docker Compose.

Re: SOLR change shared.properties in Docker image

Hi, 

I want to configure alfresco.cron SOLR property in my docker-compose.yml file within SOLR_OPTS. And I try to do that, like this:

ng-office-ass:
  image: alfresco/alfresco-search-services:2.0.1
  environment:
    SOLR_ALFRESCO_HOST: ng-office-acs
    SOLR_ALFRESCO_PORT: 8080
    SOLR_SOLR_HOST: ng-office-ass
    SOLR_SOLR_PORT: 8983
    SOLR_CREATE_ALFRESCO_DEFAULTS: alfresco,archive
    ALFRESCO_SECURE_COMMS: none
    SOLR_OPTS: "$SOLR_OPTS -Dalfresco.cron=0/2 * * * * ? *"
  ports:
    - "8983:8983"
  volumes:
    - ng-office-ass-volume:/opt/alfresco-search-services/contentstore
    - ng-office-ass-volume:/opt/alfresco-search-services/data
  depends_on:
    - ng-office-acs

 But the result is the next error: 

ng-office-ass_1 | Error: Could not find or load main class contentstore
ng-office-ass_1 | Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: contentstore

 

A also tried to add this property as a new "JAVA_OPTS" entry. I didn't get any error message, but after I checked solrcore. properties file in my ass container I can see that alfresco.cron property is the same.

 

I read all the documentation, and I cannot found how to configure solr properties(https://docs.alfresco.com/search-services/latest/config/properties/#solr-core-configuration-properti...) in the docker-comose.yml file.

Re: SOLR change shared.properties in Docker image

You need to extend default Search Services Docker Image in order to add/modify the properties. Java Envs are not supported.

This is a sample on how to do that:
