Emerse 7 in Containers

• Installation Guide

External Resources

• JDBC database driver for MariaDB
• Assets for Emerse v7.0.0
  • database initialization
  • emerse.properties template
  • EMERSE WAR file
• Solr Indexes for Emerse 7

Base Images

• MariaDB Server (mariadb:latest)
• Apache Tomcat (tomcat:10)
• Apache Solr (The official build of solr:9.8-slim uses a version 17 JDK, but we need version 21, so we build a custom image with a modified version of the official Dockerfile.)

Scripts

download.sh

Pull all of the required assets — requires the GitHub command-line tool — and puts them in the $ASSETS directory.

deploy.sh

• Unzip the Emerse Solr indexes from the $ASSETS directory into the $SOLR_HOME directory.
• Modify the default emerse.properties file with local values. (The ${VAR} syntax does not seem to work in the Emerse project.)
