Hello, I decided to upgrade my instance of SearxNG after a somewhat long time. I removed the old installation and installed a new one with the installation script. These are the errors I'm getting and I'm not sure what to make of them.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/searxng/searxng-src/searx/webapp.py", line 489, in pre_request
    preferences.parse_dict(request.cookies)
  File "/usr/local/searxng/searxng-src/searx/preferences.py", line 516, in parse_dict
    self.key_value_settings[user_setting_name].parse(user_setting)
  File "/usr/local/searxng/searxng-src/searx/preferences.py", line 226, in parse
    self.value = MAP_STR2BOOL[data]
KeyError: ''

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise TypeError(f"{type(self).__name__!r} objects are immutable")
TypeError: 'ImmutableMultiDict' objects are immutable

I basically deleted everything from the settings and left this:

use_default_settings: true

general:
  debug: true

server:
  secret_key: "[removed]"
  limiter: true
  image_proxy: true

redis:
  url: unix:///usr/local/searxng-redis/run/redis.sock?db=0

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.03, Python is 3.10.13. Any ideas?

There is no "sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh uninstall"?

Maybe @return42 knows?

You would be better off reinstalling from scratch and import back your settings.

Hey, thanks for the answer. You mean like reinstalling the entire system or just SearXNG? I removed everything I thought I should: /usr/local/searxng, /etc/searxng, the ini file, the users... Is there something I've missed? I might have because I spent the last two days troubleshooting something else.

Okay, thanks for your help, I've mostly managed to install SearXNG. Now it works if I run it from terminal as the searxng user but it does not work as a uwsgi daemon with default settings. What's odd, the log shows no errors as if it worked correctly.
