Need help with SearXNG in docker - cp: can't create '/etc/searxng/uwsgi.ini': Permission denied
(lemmy.world)
Hey guys what's up, first post on Lemmy here. I tried to get a SearXNG instance to run on my home server but cannot seem to get it to work.
.env
# By default listen on https://localhost
# To change this:
# * uncomment SEARXNG_HOSTNAME, and replace by the SearXNG hostname
# * uncomment LETSENCRYPT_EMAIL, and replace by your email (require to create a Let's Encrypt certificate)
SEARXNG_HOSTNAME=search.xxxxx.com

I commented out the caddy stuff in the docker-compose.yml as I have an extra instance of caddy that handles all the reverse proxy and cert stuff. Even if I run this with caddy not commented out I get the same errors.

Any help is appreciated. This doesn't seem to be a common error out there as there is not much info on the web.
Thanks and have a good day!
Looks like searxng is running under a user, which don't have access to /etc/searxng
Try start a root shell in searxng container and chmod 777 /etc/searxng
