Hello everyone,

I am a new adopter of Solr and I am working on a Kubernetes cluster setup
where I run a helm chart for installing and configuring multiple components
of a backend, including Apache Kafka, Flink and Solr.

Most components come with their own operator and CRDs which I install with
a script and then add resources via a custom helm chart and the provided
operator CRDs.

For Solr I decided to use the Solr operator and use the SolrCloud CRD in my
helm chart to setup and configure SolrCloud. However, for setting up
collections in Solr in order to start sending documents I can only find
manual/interactive options, either by using a solr script or by using the
Admin UI.

By looking for a solution that allows me to configure a collection via my
helm chart / CRDs, I saw that the SolrCollection CRD was removed very early
on to keep a single-source-of-truth.

What is the current way to automatically configure collections in a setup
like above? Is it init containers that run curl commands / solr scripts?

Thanks in advance,
Christos
