Index Data in Solr

To index this repo's data in Solr, we first need to upload the Solr 9 compatible API configset to Solr's /var/local/solr-data/data/ subdirectory.

rsync -ahuX config/solr/data/configsets user@server.unl.edu:

# Then SSH into the server and move the files into place with root permissions
# and set solr as the owner
sudo mv /home/(user)/configsets /var/local/solr-data/data/
sudo chown -R solr:solr /var/local/solr-data/data/configsets

Now we should be able to run the Datura commmands from this repository to create the core and set the schema for Austen's data. Lastly, post the data.

solr_create_api_core austen

solr_manage_schema -o true -j config/schema.json

post -x solr

These commands use development environment config by default. Add -e production option to run the commands in production environments
