For sure off topic :) and I think you raise important questions. If you want to
discuss security patching best practices of Solr's Docker images further,
please start [a users@ mailing list
thread|https://solr.apache.org/community.html#mailing-lists-chat]. Perhaps we
could add some best practices into the reference guide, depending on what comes
out of that discussion.
Wrt rpm / deb or not, I'll leave this open for a bit longer to gather more
opinions. There is obviously a strong trend towards containers rather than
installing applications as packages on an existing server, and I cannot see a
lot of users requesting rpm/deb packages for Solr either. Feel free to raise
the question on [us...@solr.apache.org|mailto:us...@solr.apache.org] to solicit
the demand in the user community.

> Hi there,
> it's surprisingly hard to install Solr in a way where I can guarantee to

> 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?
