I successfully installed solr 8.1.1 on my Debian 8 server as a service and created user solr as per guide https://lucene.apache.org/solr/guide/8_1/taking-solr-to-production.html . Now I would like to create a core but if I try to su solr I am asked for a password I don't know (I probably should have read more carefully the output of the install, but I had an error and focused on it instead). Can I simply change the password to a service user? I bet I am missing somthing basic here as a noob to solr, but I cannot run solr as sudo and I am stuck.
I decided to
sudo -u solr
instead of su and it worked... still wondering why most tutorials only showssu solr
