    Cloudron 6.0 now has Solr integration!

    But even though https://github.com/nextcloud/fulltextsearch says:

    Full text search

    Scrutinizer Code Quality

    Full text search is the core app of a full-text search framework for your Nextcloud.
    To have it operate, and get content indexed, some other apps are needed:

    • Some Providers Apps to extract content from your Nextcloud.
    • A Platform App that communicate with a search platform (ie. Elastic Search, Solr, …) in order to index the content provided by the Providers.
      Note: There is no limit to the number of platform-apps that can be installed, however only one can be selected from the admin interface

    (I bolded Solr)

    Currently Solr is not yet supported:

    https://github.com/nextcloud/fulltextsearch/issues/334

    Someone made a start a while back, but it doesn't appear they've done anything on it for the last couple of years now 😕

    https://github.com/rearden-logic-inc/fulltextsearch_solr

    I wonder any @staff or @appdev's might be up for taking this on? It'd be awesome to be able to use Cloudron's new Solr addon within Nextcloud to do full text searches! 🙏

    @jdaviescoates I think only the elastic one is maintained upstream. It's unlikey we (cloudron) will write the solr fts integration for nextcloud. That's really something we don't have any expertise for.

              Yup, we have this working now. It's OKish but Nextcloud's search interface is kinda sh*t, so next task is going to be fixing that to make it actually useful and hopefully work similarly to Google Drive with an actual sortable results page.

              Elasticsearch as an App from @vladimir-d is a significant win for other uses too.

                Anecdotally, this fulltext search (using elastic search) seems to be as fast as the filename search, or even makes both of them faster.

                The search results interface as a modal is still cramped and limited, but we will try to develop a full results page to show on hitting enter or clicking the search icon.

                  An interesting search string for anyone managing what multiple users do with these things is to search for password and see how many place plaintext passwords are stored in user's documents & spreadsheets!

                  Similar for things like passport number, driving licence, social security, national insurance. It's a handy way to do a review of personal data being stored in files and who has access to what.

                      @rmdes I think as a first step for next Cloudron release we will look into a way to run long running / periodic processes so we can support things like nextcloud indexer. Elasticsearch has to be installed as a separate package. From there, it's straightforward.

                        @girish Wonderful, I have tons of PDF's that I want to parse, OCRise, make searchable, the ability to do this in a self-hosted environment is mandatory in my case because it's related to Justice documents that I don't want to upload anywhere, ever, so I have been searching ways to go around that without having VPS's running just for that, I hope it's going to be doable in the future 🙂 (and I trust it will)

                            What's the status of the Elastic Search App - according to the repo, there hasn't been an update for the last 9 months. Is this still functional?

                              It'd be great to actually get this in the App Store if it is functional.

                                @jdaviescoates Sorry, we're tied up trying to get Univention working as a master AD/LDAP server to multiple Cloudron, Unify and other systems, because sadly, the world still uses Active Directory.

                                Will try to get shared shortly...

                                Also need to compare to Filerun and Pydio for speed.
