+mirabal.mayfirst.org is a dedicated [http://lucene.apache.org/solr/ Apache Solr] Server.
+
+== // For webmasters // ==
+
+''...who want to use mirabal.mayfirst.org as their Apache Solr server''
+
+=== Get in touch ===
+
+Please write a [/newticket ticket] or contact the tech crew via [https://chat.indymedia.org/?chans=mayfirst&nick=visita IRC] ([https://chat.indymedia.org/?form=off&secure=on&chans=mayfirst&nick=solr&cgiirc=mozilla Firefox], [https://chat.indymedia.org/?form=off&secure=on&chans=mayfirst&nick=solr&cgiirc=konqueror Konqueror/Safari], [https://chat.indymedia.org/?form=off&secure=on&chans=mayfirst&nick=solr&cgiirc=opera7 Opera 7], [https://chat.indymedia.org/?form=off&secure=on&chans=mayfirst&nick=solr&cgiirc=opera Opera], [https://chat.indymedia.org/?form=off&secure=on&chans=mayfirst&nick=solr&cgiirc=ie Internet Explorer]).
+
+=== Provide SSH access ===
+
+You have to ask the admin of your host server to create a new user on the server and add mirabal's public ssh key to the new user's ./ssh/authorized_keys file. mirabal will connect to the host server and provide an ssh tunnel to the Apache Solr server.
+
+=== Access Apache Solr ===
+
+You can then connect to the Apache Solr server on mirabal.mayfirst.org: 
+
+{{{
+Solr host name: localhost
+Solr port: 9080
+Solr path: /solr/<sitename>
+}}}
+
+== // For admins // ==
+
+''...who want to add access for another website to Apache Solr on mirabal.mayfirst.org''
+
+There are two things to do on mirabal.mayfirst.org: add a ssh tunnel to the host server and create a new Apache Solr site in Apache Tomcat.
+
+=== Create SSH tunnel ===
+
+To add a SSH tunnel simply add the login credentials to 
+{{{
+/etc/default/solr-autossh
+}}}
+
+Restart the script with
+{{{
+service solr-autossh restart
+}}}
+
+=== Test SSH tunnel ===
+
+Check with
+{{{
+service solr-autossh status
+}}}
+if the tunnel exists.
+
+Log into the server running the website (as solr user) and do a
+{{{
+wget localhost:9080
+}}}
+which should download the Apache Tomcat welcome page from mirabal.mayfirst.org.
+
+=== Create new Solr configuration ===
+
+Copy the configuration directory
+{{{
+cp -a /etc/solr/conf /etc/solr/<sitename>
+}}}
+
+If you need a different configuration than [http://drupal.org/project/apachesolr Apache Solr Drupal] you probably have to change at least ''schema.xml'' and ''solrconfig.xml''.
+
+=== Create new Solr site ===
+
+Copy an existing Solr core
+{{{
+cp -a /usr/share/solr/testsite /usr/share/solr/<sitename>
+}}}
+
+Change the symbolic link to the new configuration directory
+{{{
+ln -sf /etc/solr/<sitename> /usr/share/solr/<sitename>/conf
+}}}
+
+Create a new data directory
+{{{
+mkdir /var/lib/solr/data/<sitename>
+}}}
+
+Change the symbolic link to the new data directory
+{{{
+ln -sf /var/lib/solr/data/<sitename> /usr/share/solr/<sitename>/
+}}}
+
+=== Create new Solr core ===
+
+Add a new core 
+{{{
+<core name="<sitename>" instanceDir="<sitename>" />
+}}}
+to Apache Solr
+{{{
+/etc/solr/solr-multicore.xml
+}}}
+
+=== Restart Apache Tomcat ===
+
+Restart Apache Tomcat with
+{{{
+service tomcat6 restart
+}}}
+
+=== Test new Solr site ===
+
+Check that the new core is accessible
+{{{
+http://localhost:8080/solr/<sitename>/admin
+}}}
