Apache Solr is an open-source enterprise search platform from the Apache Software Foundation, built on the Apache Lucene library and running as a Java (JVM) service. It provides schema-driven full-text search with hit highlighting, faceting, dynamic clustering, geospatial and range queries, rich document (PDF, Office) handling, near-real-time indexing, and result ranking over a REST-like HTTP API plus the classic Solr Admin UI. Solr indexes and configuration sets are persisted on the local filesystem and queried with sub-second latency; it scales from a single node to large clusters. This image runs Solr standalone (single node, user-managed) on OpenJDK 21. Apache-2.0 license - a self-hosted alternative to hosted search services and a Lucene-based peer to Elasticsearch and OpenSearch, with no per-query fees and no vendor lock-in.
