[ckan-dev] ckan-dev Digest, Vol 104, Issue 2

Sat Jun 8 22:10:45 UTC 2019

I’d definitely encourage this. My experience getting everything running on
my mac was hit and miss, but I ended up with a much better workflow of just
running Ubuntu in a vm. I found it tricky to get the versions of Postgres,
redis, and solr running on mac.

Hi,

Has anyone done any work on getting Solr 8 to work with CKAN?

On setting up a new laptop today I ran 'brew install solr', because it's a
mac and I'm lazy, and ended up with Solr 8 :( Which I guess serves me
right.

On the basis that it'll be much easier to get CKAN working with 8 than
trying to install 6.x I've been playing around with the schema and
solrconfig and managed to get it up and running.

I don't want to spend a lot of time, beyond the too-many-hours I've spent
staring at XML, turning it into a useful PR if someone else has already
started/done this work (and I was too stupid to look).

If nobody has started on this yet, but would be willing to give it a try
(with the caveat that it might make your computer explode, your dog hate
you and all your backups disappear), I'd be happy to write up how I got it
working - then once there's more confidence it is correct I'll turn it into
a PR without the manual steps.

Cheers

Ross

Sounds cool to me, but not from a technical viewpoint (i?ll Leave that with
others).

Sounds cool because I was hoping that Bati who has started in the Ethiopia
team could start writing up some of these install guides and take on much
of the Sysadmin Support questions which come in.

Can I intro the two of you and you can mentor him a little on what folks
would need in such guides?

Cheers,
Steven

Hi,

That sounds cool, it?ll probably just be a case of following the
instructions and then replacing a couple of files, so it would be great if
Bati is comfortable installing CKAN, and has maybe done it once or twice. I
don?t really have enough time to mentor someone on how to install CKAN, but
definitely enough to guide someone on the needed changes to the current
process.

Once I?ve got confirmation that it works I?ll submit a PR with a docs
change.
