where might I find instructions for setting up the search server? They aren't included in the musicbrainz-server repo and the search-server repo seems to be for the old search code...

agentsim: it depends on how you install(ed) musicbrainz-server: from source? docker? virtualbox?
2019-09-20 26318, 2019
agentsim
from source, following INSTALL.md
2019-09-20 26314, 2019
yvanzo
then you can either install the search server (mb-solr) from source or as a docker container

maybe I'm being a little thick. The instructions in mb-solr don't seem to explain how to integrate with musicbrainz-server except to reference an old branch of code

agentsim
and the docker instructions, "run docker-compose up" sounds great, but surely I'd need to configure what musicbrainz-server to connect to, wouldn't it need to configure auto-updates of the search index, etc...

metabrainz/picard#4995 (master - 9dab7d1 : Philipp Wolfer): The build passed.
agentsim: musicbrainz-docker indeed assumes musicbrainz-server is in a docker container

the search-server repo is legacy

yvanzo: I get that search-server is legacy, I'm just not clear on how to run the replacement, mb-solr. It sounds like I need to go learn how to docker...
(the master branch is still using the old search-server)

yvanzo: thanks that looks very helpful. The CPU requirements are steep :)
2019-09-20 26318, 2019
yvanzo
yes :( this is mostly to allow rebuilding search index from scratch
2019-09-20 26338, 2019
yvanzo
plan is to avoid this by allowing to load search index dumps instead
2019-09-20 26319, 2019
agentsim
so once the index is built, updating it doesn't eat as much CPU?
2019-09-20 26343, 2019
yvanzo
yes
2019-09-20 26328, 2019
agentsim
that's not too bad then, I can launch with a 4 or 8 core, be patient on the initial index and then I should be ok?
2019-09-20 26336, 2019
yvanzo
yes if you can be patient for two days.
2019-09-20 26340, 2019
agentsim
yep, shouldn't be a problem
2019-09-20 26358, 2019

note: the search index rebuilder (sir) is not self-adapting to the machine computing capacities, thus you need to slow it down via its config to avoid "thrashing"

good to know, thx

outsidecontext: will you do something against the smartscreen warning on windows when installing picard?
