Working on it, somewhat anyway.

BTW, did you see this ? :

"""
$ sudo -u solr /opt/solr/bin/solr create -c dovecot
WARNING: Using _default configset with data driven schema functionality. 
NOT RECOMMENDED for production use.
          To turn off: bin/solr config -c dovecot -p 8983 -action 
set-user-property -property update.autoCreateFields -value false
INFO  - 2019-01-14 23:19:56.831; 
org.apache.solr.util.configuration.SSLCredentialProviderFactory; 
Processing SSL Credential Provider chain: env;sysprop

Created new core 'dovecot'
"""

I'll be trying your steps first, but the mentioned command might at 
least get rid of some of the cruft in the default config file.

Regards,

Stephan.
