Comment

That is not 100% correct .. the /etc/searxng/settings.yml file is a use_default_settings=True

searxng-docker/searxng/settings.yml

Lines 1 to 2 in 21bca5e

# see https://docs.searxng.org/admin/settings/settings.html#settings-use-default-settings
use_default_settings: true

What this means is documented at https://docs.searxng.org/admin/settings/settings.html#settings-use-default-settings

And all other settings are documented here: https://docs.searxng.org/admin/settings/index.html

We should encourage the instance admins to read the docs, too often we have tickets just because someone hasn't read the doc.


> [!NOTE]
> On the first run, you must remove `cap_drop: - ALL` from the `docker-compose.yaml` file for the `searxng` service to successfully create `/etc/searxng/uwsgi.ini`. This is necessary because the `cap_drop: - ALL` directive removes all capabilities, including those required for the creation of the `uwsgi.ini` file. After the first run, you should re-add `cap_drop: - ALL` to the `docker-compose.yaml` file for security reasons.
