Solr Sail

From zero to search in the flash of a gem.

gem install solr_sail

May have to add the Sonatype Repo if the sync to Maven Central is slow.

The solr_sail gem comes with the executable solrsail which makes it easy to setup and start Solr.

To create a config directory to run Solr from, in the default path of solr, simply run:

solrsail install

To change the directory, you can pass --solr_home or -h:

solrsail install -h new/path/to/solr

If you want to make changes to how the Solr Server runs, you can edit the conf solr_sail.conf under the installed Solr home. Presently only port and contentpath are configurable. An example solr_sail.conf:

solr_sail.solr.port=8983
solr_sail.solr.contextpath=/solr

solrsail start

To change the directory of the Solr home, you can pass --solr_home or -h:

solrsail start -h new/path/to/solr

To create a config directory for Solr to run from

require 'rubygems'
require 'solr_sail'

SolrSail.install_config()

require 'rubygems'
require 'solr_sail'

SolrSail.start()
