WHAT IS APACHE SOLR
Show the rest of the publisher’s description (16 more lines)
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
Highlighted by the publisher on AWS Marketplace.
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.

Confirmed means matched to a public authoritative registry. Claimed means the vendor or its listing states it, not yet cross-checked. A framework not shown was not found in any source we hold, which is not evidence against it. Not listed means a scoped registry check found no match for this vendor's domain: a No is a scoped registry check, not a compliance judgment. Confidence bands: 95% domain-verified, 90% registry-checked, 80% self-attested, 70% weak signal. Self-attested items marked “vendor's site” are gathered from the vendor's own website and are not verified by us.

1 repoUnknown means this listing does not publish a repository. It is not a statement that the code is closed, and a linked repository is not a claim that the publisher wrote it: the registry computes that relationship privately and does not publish it.
Evidence risk is the share of the build you cannot see before you deploy, not a security rating. Sign in to see the layer-by-layer basis for this band.
