Comment on Need help with searxng docker compose

  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)

      The problem is that while docker is running as root (0) the searxng process internally runs as a user searxng with id 977

      So your filesystem outside of docker needs to have those files assigned the right ownership.

      This thread has a more detailed discussion that you might find helpful.
