Solr

I have official Solr running in a Docker container. When I try to create a core it just spits error messages at me.

How do I get shell access?

You can go to the console in VirtualBox. This gets you into the machine where Docker is running, not into the solr container. But you can run docker commands there.

This worked to create the "gettingstarted" core.

docker exec -it --user=solr solr bin/solr create_core -c gettingstarted
