Description

Hi I'm Tanner Ferguson and today I will be demonstrating how you can extend and customize the local environment for a d/deaf project. This is functionality that will become available in the upcoming 0.5 release. For this demo, I have set up this Drupal 7 site with some sample content and I have installed the Search API and Search API solar modules in order to use Search API solar I'm, going to need an Apache Solr server to configure and connect to the dev doesn't provide this out-of-the-box for us, but fortunately allows us to add additional services with these.

Behind the scenes data uses doctor compose which man is doctor projects involving multiple containers. If you look in the dot data folder, that's created, when you run Baudette config for a site, you will normally notice two files d-does config Donal, which provides information about your site, fruity, dead and docker compose animal which defines the default services 4d depth.

A

One of the great features docker compose provides allows for extending and overriding configuration, multiple docker compose files. We leverage this feature indie dev, to allow users to create and share additional configurations across different projects with ease to demonstrate. This we've created an example configuration file for Apache Solr and named it docker compose solar panel.

A

This will use the official docker solar container, which provides an functionality for us to easily create a solar core with the configurations we need for Search API to use this functionality, we need to copy the Search API configuration to a folder. The solar container is configured to pickup, so we'll go ahead and do that now this solar container uses Apache Solr 5, so we'll copy the 5 X configurations from the Search API solar module.

A

Now that we've added the solar service file and provided our solar configuration we'll run the death start again to update our project.

A

You'll notice this is Rick, creating and updating our existing containers and introducing a new container for Apache Solr.

A

Now that data is start has completed, we should be able to access the Apache Solr admin interface from its 89-83 port off of the solar demo, gif local.

A

And you'll notice, we have the solar admin interface here and we also have a core already created forest named depth. So we should be able to go back to our Drupal 7 site and configure the Search API solar server.

A

Alright, and with that, we were able to create a new search, API seller server. We are able to connect to that and you'll notice that it is configured and ready to go for Apache Solr. So we should now be able to configure our index to use this server and we should be able to index some content.

A

And that's it with one more configuration style and copying the Search API configurations. We now have a working Apache Solr setup to allow us to continue our work on this project. This projects configuration can now be committed with the project code if desired and shared with other team members, so that they can use this functionality. If you haven't checked out PDF, yet I encourage you to take it for a spin, and let us know what you what you think you can pick up. The latest release at github comm, flash dread, /d Debs.
