Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-15967:
------------------------------------
I think RedHat used to maintain a Solr rpm back in the days, with patches.
However, you normally want to treat your search cluster not as any other linux
package that gets auto updated, but as a stateful application, where upgrades
sometimes are automatic, but other times need a coordinated effort mutating
your configuration and sometimes also re-indexing your data after an
incompatible change.
Auto upgrading patch versions would be safe to do automated, but as development
changes from e.g. 8.10 to 8.11, there will be no more patch releases of 8.10,
so it is of limited value.
The project is not able or skilled to maintain rpm and deb package, but if any
downstream user is willing to maintain them and keep them up to date, we are
happy to announce the availability of such package repos in various channels.
The closest you get to official and auto updates would be to run Solr using its
Docker image, and to specify tag as "solr:8.11" instead of "solr:8.11.1". Then,
if you re-pull images from time to time, you would get "8.11.2" when it is
released. Beware though that any minor or major upgrade is not recommended
doing unattended, as they require additional care.
I'll close this as won't do.

> Hi there,
> it's surprisingly hard to install Solr in a way where I can guarantee to
> automatically get updates, especially security updates in a reliable manner,
> as well as get a documented way to start / run Solr on my distro of choice.
> What I am really looking for is an official rpm repository (and probably a
> deb repo too) that I can add to my package manager and then install a package
> that will give me all the updates I want, as well as starts the database with
> a systemd file that is known good.
> I in particular am looking for a centos 7 repository.
> I think, that this would make installation of Solr so much easier.
> What do you say?
