I know this sounds like more of a “how do I use computes” question than a legitimate selfhosting question, but I think it fits here. My LibreX instance is hosted and appears to be fully functional, but when I try to add it to my browser it reports its url as 127.0.0.1:8080 instead of the actual address. I tried to get it to work with chromium as a troubleshooting step, and while it did let me change the address, it had some other stuff after the search.php?q= that made it return a 404. Does anyone know how to fix this?
How do I make my LibreX the default in Firefox?

This might be an issue with opensearch.xml, which is a standard for how browsers recognise search engines.
See here:
github.com/hnhx/librex/…/opensearch.xml.example
I don’t know how you’re hosting it, but when I was hosting LibreX, I had to make an opensearch.xml with the correct domain and bind mount it to the correct location. I don’t exactly remember the details since I moved to Searxng.
Also, if you’re not aware, LibreX was forked to LibreY, which is the updated repo.

Thanks for letting me know about LibreY. I switched it over now.
