Setting up an external Zookeeper Solr Cluster

Setting up an external Zookeeper Solr Cluster

This is a step by step instruction on how to create a cluster that has three Solr nodes running in cloud mode. These instructions should work on both a local cluster (for testing) and a remote cluster where each server runs in its own physical machine. This was tested on Solr version 5.4.1 and Zookeeper version 3.4.6

Installing Solr and Zookeeper

  • Download and extract Solr:
    • curl -O http://archive.apache.org/dist/lucene/solr/5.5.3/solr-5.5.3.tgz
    • mkdir /opt/solr

AWS & GCP explained in simple English

Amazon Web Services (AWS) & Google Cloud Platform (GCP) explained in simple English

This guide is only representative from my point of view and it may not be accurate and you should go on the official AWS & GCP websites for accurate and detailed information. It's initially inspired by AWS in simple English and GCP for AWS professionals. The idea is to compare both services, give simple one-line explanation and examples with other software that might have similiar capabilities. Comment below for suggestions.

Category Service AWS GCP Description It's like
Compute IaaS Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Google Compute Engine Type-1 virtual servers VMware ESXi, Citrix XenServer
  PaaS AWS Elastic Beanstalk Google App Engine Running your app on a platform

Run NodeJS as a Service on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Run NodeJS as a Service on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

With Node you can write very fast JavaScript programs serverside. It's pretty easy to install Node, code your program, and run it. But > how do you make it run nicely in the background like a true server?

  • Go to /etc/init/
  • $ sudo vim yourapp.conf
  • Paste script.conf
  • $ sudo start yourapp
  • And when you wanna kill the process $ sudo stop yourapp
