I also forgot to mention that I edited the ‘searxng.sh’ and ‘lib.sh’ files in the ‘~searxng/utils’ directory, because they contained code that was intended for personal computers and was not compatible with Termux.

Maybe try their matrix support chat, I think their might be a few developers around that could point you in right direction:

Just the “about” page has issues? The rest is fine? No messages on the console where you ran python?
LemmyUser1290a@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Yes, the rest seems to be fine, but I think the issue with about is because I’m running it with Python, not a web server. There may be issues with the PC files being executed that are incompatible with Termux, so I need to modify the files to fit Termux compatibility.

Flask apps are usually run from gunicorn or something. What exactly did you modify on those shell scripts?

You are running a specific module of a project locally not the whole project. The web server is an integral part - leaving it out makes you do a bit of the leg work: you’d need to figure out how the websites get built and deployed and then reverse engineer that for your android environment.
Personally I’m fascinated by that attempt and it could be an awesome learning opportunity. To be honest I don’t have the motivation to follow your path down this rabbit hole though.
If you decide to follow up I’d appreciate you giving updates from time to time about your insights! ♥
