In CrafterCMS, how do I configure Solr in Crafter 3.0?

Question

I'm installing a production Crafter 3.0 instance built from source, using the current documentation as guidance. However, I'm having issues at this point:

 Change the path where the preview Solr search indexes will be stored, e.g. /opt/crafter/data/preview-indexes:

 In INSTALL_DIR/apache-tomcat/solr-crafter/conf/solrconfig.xml, update the value of <dataDir> to the preview indexes folder path (e.g. <dataDir>/opt/crafter/data/preview-indexes</dataDir>).

I can't find the INSTALL_DIR/apache-tomcat/solr-crafter/conf/solrconfig.xml file, and solr itself seems to be in different path.

Since 3.0 Solr is now it's own standalone service.

It's highly recommended to use this as a template to start up a production install (you might want to tweak memory, paths,backups and Apache frontend for all the services).

Now if for some reason you have a special Solr config all solr config will be under crafter-(auth|delivery)-env/solr/server/solr/configsets/crafter_configs
