This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support.
Apache Solr is an open-source enterprise search platform built on Apache Lucene - schema-driven full-text search, faceting, and rich document handling on the JVM. Unlike bare Solr AMIs that ship with no authentication, an admin API open on every interface, and no TLS, this Lynxroute build is ready out of the box: a unique admin password at first boot, dual-layer Basic Auth (TLS reverse proxy plus Solr's native BasicAuthPlugin), the search server bound to loopback only, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
Overview
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS APACHE SOLR
Apache Solr is an open-source enterprise search platform from the Apache Software Foundation, built on the Apache Lucene library and running as a Java (JVM) service. It provides schema-driven full-text search with hit highlighting, faceting, dynamic clustering, geospatial and range queries, rich document (PDF, Office) handling, near-real-time indexing, and result ranking over a REST-like HTTP API plus the classic Solr Admin UI. Solr indexes and configuration sets are persisted on the local filesystem and queried with sub-second latency; it scales from a single node to large clusters. This image runs Solr standalone (single node, user-managed) on OpenJDK 21. Apache-2.0 license - a self-hosted alternative to hosted search services and a Lucene-based peer to Elasticsearch and OpenSearch, with no per-query fees and no vendor lock-in.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
- Unique admin password generated per instance at first boot
- Dual-layer Basic Auth: an nginx TLS reverse proxy plus Solr's native BasicAuthPlugin, both gating the Admin UI and REST API with the same credential
- Solr bound to 127.0.0.1 only - never exposed directly; nginx terminates TLS on 443
- UFW firewall - ports 22 (SSH) and 443 (HTTPS) only
- fail2ban, AppArmor
- CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
- CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
- auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced
Compliance artifacts:
- SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
- CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
- CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
- Solr security baked in: unique admin password at first boot, dual-layer Basic Auth (TLS reverse proxy plus Solr's native BasicAuthPlugin), and the search server bound to loopback only behind a TLS perimeter - unlike bare Solr AMIs that ship with authentication disabled, the admin API open on every interface, and no TLS.
- CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
- Enterprise search on Apache Lucene: schema-driven full-text search, faceting, hit highlighting, rich-document and geospatial queries via a REST API and the Solr Admin UI. Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Additional details
Usage instructions
- Launch instance (t3.medium recommended)
- Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 from your IP
- SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
- Read credentials: sudo cat /root/solr-credentials.txt
- Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/solr/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
- Log in with the admin username and password from the credentials file (Basic Auth gates both the Admin UI and the REST API)
Query and index via the REST API over TLS, for example: curl -k -u admin:<password> 'https://<PUBLIC_IP>/solr/sample/select?q=:'
Solr runs standalone (single node) and listens on 127.0.0.1:8983 only; nginx is the TLS and Basic Auth perimeter on 443. Do not expose 8983 directly. The admin password is saved to /root/solr-credentials.txt at first boot. Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate (certbot is pre-installed) for production use.
