[ckan-dev] Error running solr in a container

Just for the record, the log is under:
/opt/solr/server/logs/solr.log
I am working on automating the install by extracting the necessary files from a " run once" instance of a solr container, then overwriting the default schema.xml with the one supplied by CKAN, then remounting all these files back into the final instance of solr (as per instructions in https://github.com/docker-solr/docker-solr/blob/master/5.3/scripts/docker-entrypoint.sh) to auto-create the ckan core files.
The solr container is working; but I need to get the CKAN container to communicate with it.
Thanks for the help so far.

logs are in /var/solr/logsif you want to automate the install you can just curl or wget that webpage to create the core

Hi Pedro
Thanks for all the help here! - I did suspect it might be a missing core issue. I am still on a learning curve with these technologies and am not sure what is / is not a requirement or pre-requisite for each.
I obviously missed the part in the CKAN install guide where I had to manually create the core; but I will look that up as I need to find a way to fully automate it at install time (i.e. without access to a browser as you suggest).
Have you any quick pointers about where the solr log is? One of my frustrations about Java-based installs is that developers seem to get very creative about where everything goes (even between installs of exactly the same package). It appears that the Docker install has placed everything under /opt/solr but I see your commands reference /var/solr ...
I will check, in the meantime, whether these other files you referenced, are correct on my side.
Thanks

Im using solr 5. Derek try 2 things:-see if you have a proxy set somewhere
-check the solr logs for more detailed info
-check that in that solr version that you have you created the core, on version 5 the link to solr is solr_url:8983/solr/core_name , and you have to manually create this core, since solr 5 doesn't automatically create cores. also you should check that all needed files were copied. I'll leave a snippet of my commands. Hope it helps

Derek,
Where did you get the idea ckan only supports solr v3.6? Because
wherever it is, it needs fixing.
I think most people run SOLR v4 and several are on v5.
e.g. https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/2318
