Comment on Need help with searxng docker compose

  try opening a shell with ’ docker exec -it searxng sh" and see if you can cat the file from inside docker, if yes then I’m not sure of a solution ,if no then the problem is with permissions on your filesystem outside of docker where you have " - ./data/searxng:/etc/searxng" You need to go to ./data/searxng and correct the permissions so they can be read inside the docker.

    u are right its not writable, the files are read only, that is wierd

      Yep Probably you need to change ownership and/or permissions of the files outside of docker.

      I dont want to give the wrong suggestion from memory so hopefully thats enough info to get you going in the direction of a fix. Basically see what user id owns the files inside of docker, make it the same uid outside of docker in the folder you are bind mounting.

        SN_FR_@SN:~$ sudo docker exec -it searxng sh -c "id"
        uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

    ~ # ls /etc/searxng
    settings.yml  uwsgi.ini
    ~ # cat settings.yml
    cat: can't open 'settings.yml': No such file or directory
    ~ # cat /etc/searxng/settings.yml
    general:
      # Debug mode, only for development. Is overwritten by ${SEARXNG_DEBUG}
      debug: false
      # displayed name
      instance_name: "searxng"
      # For example: https://example.com/privacy
    

    I think I do have the permission?

      If you have permissions then try editibg uwsgi.ini and see if it lets you save.

      Im going from memory but i think i had a similar issue and i had to manually create the file, yours shows the file already exists but it might not be writable.
