How to test YASA with Solr in 3 minutes

1. Download YASA (https://github.com/kezhenxu94/yasa)
2. Start Solr through Docker, replacing old UI with YASA
3. Index some content
4. Test the UI

Copy/paste the below commands (Mac/Linux) to automate this

wget https://github.com/kezhenxu94/yasa/releases/download/v0.5/yasa-v0.5.tgz
tar -xzf yasa-v0.5.tgz
cd dist
docker run --name yasa --rm -d -ti -p 8983:8983 \
    -v $(pwd)/index.html:/opt/solr/server/solr-webapp/webapp/index.html \
    -v $(pwd)/static:/opt/solr/server/solr-webapp/webapp/static solr:8.3 -c
docker exec yasa solr create -c test1 -n techproducts -rf 2
docker exec yasa post -c test1 example/exampledocs

Now you can visit http://localhost:8983/solr/#/dashboard and browse around the new UI You can create and manage collections, browse ZK and config sets, create new configset, and it has some Kibana-like query/discovery/visualize panels. Under "Dev Tools" you have a request workbench where you can issue json-style queries, e.g.

GET /solr/test1/select
{
    "q": "cat:electronics",
    "rows": 2
}

When done testing, just run docker kill yasa

Thanks Jan 😄

It would be appreciated if this could go into the YASA docs

Sure, feel free - it is meant as a quick-start for testing something locally. Note that I chose Solr 8.3 since CFP prevents YASA to run with Solr 8.5 (Solr now sends CFP headers to tighten security).

Cool, and thanks for informing
