Awesome. With #FreeBSD if I needed Solr 8 (which is end of life), I just built the package for arm64 and stuck it in the hosts #bastille directory where it could install the package in seconds.

In contrast, Ansible on Linux is set to download the official Solr tarball and run the installation script. It took 16 minutes just to download from Apache's excruciatingly slow distribution web servers. (the tarball is less than 200 MB!)

FreeBSD and it's ports/packages are miles ahead here.

(And before you ask: Ubuntu doesn't have Apache Solr in its official packages)
