  • You’re confusing a lack of handholding with gatekeeping.

    beginner friendly solution, something with a UI, fewer manual configs…

    First, you’re not entirely right. you can get a ton of self hosting done with things like Synology or Home assistant, and never see the complexity. You might get owned by a botnet, but it “works.”

    Self hosting securely has a steep learning curve, there’s no way around that. What you’re asking for is for someone to write programs that’ll let you skip the learning curve.

    GitHub is littered with abandoned attempts at doing this. You bury your lede by mentioning “your project” at the end. It’s your project going to be another well intentioned attempt that’s eventually abandoned or causes more problems than it solves?





  • per the searxng container instructions:

    Understanding container architecture basics is essential for properly maintaining your SearXNG instance. This guide assumes familiarity with container concepts and provides deployment steps at a high level.

    The fact that you’re logging into your container to manually edit your config hints that you need to read more about managing containers.

    Make sure you’re editing the file that you’re mounting on the host, and edit it from the host.

    Have you checked the actual log with podman logs? It’ll tell you what it’s doing about its config.
