NethServer Version: NethServer 8
Module: mail
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has had any success in installing solr with NS8. Basically several customers have enormous emails folders (100G plus) and thunderbird’s searching isn’t doing a very good job and they would like a better indexing system in place. Thanks for you time.

Solr could be nice on NS8 but using full text search indexes in dovecot isn’t trivial, for example dovecot needs to be compiled to enable FTS, see fts-solr | Dovecot CE
There’s also a elasticsearch community plugin for dovecot that could also be used in Nextcloud for FTS, see FTS (Full Text Search) — Dovecot documentation
Here are more current instructions to use the Solr 9 docker version instead of the EOL Solr 7 that’s explained in the dovecot docs:
EDIT:
I found that FTS is already supported by the fts-flatcurve plugin: GitHub - NethServer/ns8-mail: NS8 Mail module with SMTP, IMAP, Spam/Virus filter
