Get older solr releases

[jman <so...@city17.xyz.INVALID>]

Hi,

I usually install solr by manually downloading tarballs from mirrors. I
don't always want to install the latest version when provisioning a
new server. I upgrade after a manual overview of the new release.

However, I've tested a couple of mirrors [0] and the main distribution
point [1]: often I only find the latest version so in the end it's a
bit complicated to reproduce the same installation on multiple servers.

Is there a policy for mirrors to retain old versions?

Besides mirroring versions I install on a local site, are there other
options?

thanks

To expand on Markus's comment...

1) The availability for downloading "Past Versions" of Solr is spelled out 
on the downloads page: 

https://solr.apache.org/downloads.html#past-versions

2) The mirror network, by design, is only suppose to host "current, 
recommended releases" -- the specific definition of that is left somewhat 
up to interpretation by the projects -- to help reduce disk requirements 
of every mirror provider (which mirror releases for *ALL* apache 
projects):

Hi,

Several older versions of Solr are available as Docker images:
https://hub.docker.com/_/solr/

If using Docker is not an option, you can still extract the Solr
distribution from those images by starting a container and copying the
relevant path recursively to the host system.

Cheers.
