sure, I already add it to my local version and uploaded the patch to the PR.

you have to create an instance and provide a configuration therefor as
noted in the installation instruction:
For more information how to configure solr check the manual:

Maybe you can copy an example to the database folder to test the startup
script:
cp -R /usr/local/solr/example/example-DIH/solr/solr /var/db/solr/
chown -R www /var/db/solr/solr

After this maybe the start will work (I cannot test it, as I have my
package already deployed to all my servers and do not want to disturb
the usage).
