Unable to create 2 cores with solr-precreate in docker-compose.yml about docker-solr

[tcrosen]

So is it possible to create more than one core with solr-precreate ?

Also wondering this, and if not, what is the recommended way to setup multiple cores?

Just an aside: many Solr users have moved on to SolrCloud.

Not with solr-precreate. See https://github.com/docker-solr/docker-solr/blob/master/scripts/solr-precreate -- it runs precreate-core to create the core, then runs solr in the foreground. So it never gets to your second invocation.

If you want two cores, you need to run precreate-core twice and then run solr-fg One way to do that would be to copy the solr-precreate script, modify it for your purposes, then mount that into you containers and run it. Another way is to create a bash command-line that does that and run it. If you want to do it in docker-compose, the latter is probably easier.

I think you have another problem though -- that No such file or directory says you're passing in a non-existing config directory.
