Re: Message searching in Dovecot
* Aki Tuomi via dovecot, 20.04.23 11:46 [...] Biggest issue in my mind is that you will need to tell Solr to update it's indexes (somehow) when using version 8 before upgrading to 9. Because the older indexes are no longer compatible with 9. If by that you mean migrating from [Fast]LRUCache to CaffeineCache, I found PGNet Dev's post here [1] and Shawn Heisey's followup here [2] (including a very handy script) extremely helpful when I did that last year: [1] https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2022-May/124701.html [2] https://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2022-May/124711.html [...] Other than that, it was pretty simple to get it working in the end. ACK, same here. :-) Have not yet upgraded to Solr 9.x, though, I'm currently still at 8.11.2.

If you need real code example, see here: https://github.com/progmaticltd/homebox/tree/main/roles/dovecot The project is a set of Ansible scripts to deploy a mail server from scratch, on Debian.

Downside is that the search and indexing is all done in-process so Dovecot processes can grow quite large. ___ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org
