Alex Crome commented on SOLR-7105:
----------------------------------
Unfortunately you can't run any old executable as a windows service - it needs
to understand how to communicate with the Service Control Manager. Thus some
wrapper (nssm or commons daemon wrappers) is required.
I have a script that does a basic install of solr at
https://gist.github.com/afscrome/e6c4f3c8e9ca89e9882b1b77fde1e2c0 which should
be a good starting point. Specifically it:
* Sets up solr as a windows service (through nssm)
* Work around an issue with nssm being unable to gracefully stop solr (due to
windows stupidity)
* Avoid double logging in both nssm logs & solr logs
* Set up solr with least required privileges (Service specific virtual account
+ minimal permissions). (Needs more work as {{solr.cmd}} doesn't support
everything to provide a clean split between app files & data files, like the
opt/var split supported in the bash scripts)
* Work around for SOLR-9760 when running with minimal permissions
* Some diagnostics to make troubleshooting service installation failures
easier. (Specifically determining whether to look at nssm, solr or windows
event logs to troubleshoot further).
Work needed
* Probably needs to allow for more configuration options (solr home, log
directory etc.) Check what the linux script supports)
* Should probably add a {{NoStartService}} option that installs the service,
but doesn't start it after.
* Any problems with using nssm over Commons Dameon? I'm not familiar with the
latter.
This script supports Win 8 / Server 2012 +. Win 7 and Server 2008 R2 will
work, but will require powershell 3 or higher to be installed. Might be able
to support older versions of powershell, but would need more investigation.
> Running Solr as a windows service

> Key: SOLR-7105
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7105
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Varun Thacker
> Fix For: 6.0
>
>
> Since we moved away from shipping a war, it's useful to have scripts to start
> Solr as a service.
> In 5.0 we already added a script for unix systems, we should also add one for
> windows.
> The Commons Daemon project seems like a good way to implement it -
