      It would be great if the Fulltext Search App could be included in the Nextcloud package. The app allows for fulltext search of files and bookmarks via Elasticsearch or Solr.

            So this may be confusing.
            TO install this app, it must be done from within NextCloud, not Cloudron. I just confirmed on my own instance. If you need help, let me know and I'll walk you through it.

              I know I need to install an app within nextcloud but there's also a "server part", see https://github.com/nextcloud/fulltextsearch/wiki/Basic-Installation#installation-of-elasticsearch--ingest-attachment-plugin-on-your-server

              Installation of ElasticSearch + "Ingest Attachment Plugin" on your server

              I thought this would have to happen within the Docker instance of nextcloud?

                I have this question to. What to do when some of these Nextcloud apps require something to execute on the server itself. This is my main example, but also for a preview generator that needs something added to a cron job, etc.

                  @necrevistonnezr oooooooh, I assume with that one, you'd need your own external server for that feature.. Let me know what you find!

                    Well, in theory you needed an external server for the Nextcloud Collabora Office app but the cloudron guys made it available, anyway...

                      We do have plans to provide elasticsearch as an addon (just like other databases) at some point. For the moment, it looks like you have to run elasticsearch on a different server and connect the plugin to it.

                        It seems there's a Docker image for the fulltext search backend engine on Nextcloud, now: https://github.com/nextcloud/fulltextsearch/wiki/Basic-Installation

                          Getting elasticsearch into Cloudron would be great! Fulltext search for Nextcloud is a must and running a separate instance side by side to cloudron is very inefficient...

                            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.

                                @girish it was a longshot, but fair enough!
