You need config-dir level schema.xml, and solrconfig.xml. For multiple collections, you also need a top-level solr.xml. And unless the config files a lot of references to other files, you need nothing else.
For examples, check the example directory in the distribution. Or have a look at examples from my book: https://github.com/arafalov/solr-indexing-book/tree/master/published . This shows the solr.xml that points at a lot of collections. The first nearly minimal collection is collection1, but you can then explore others for various degree of complexity. Regards, Alex.
