-#!/bin/bash
-#
-# IMAP search with lucene via solr
-# --------------------------------
-#
-# By default dovecot uses its own Squat search index that has awful performance
-# on large mailboxes. Dovecot 2.1+ has support for using Lucene internally but
-# this didn't make it into the Ubuntu packages, so we use Solr instead to run
-# Lucene for us.
-#
-# Solr runs as a Jetty process. The dovecot solr plugin talks to solr via its
-# HTTP interface, searching indexed mail and returning results back to dovecot.
-#
-# Based on https://forum.iredmail.org/topic17251-dovecot-fts-full-text-search-using-apache-solr-on-ubuntu-1804-lts.html
-# https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/fts/solr/ and https://solr.apache.org/guide/8_8/installing-solr.html
-#
-# solr-jetty package is removed from Ubuntu 21.04 onward. This installation
-# therefore depends on manual installation of solr instead of an ubuntu package
-
-source setup/functions.sh # load our functions
-source /etc/mailinabox.conf # load global vars
-
-# Install packages and basic configuation
