Contents

If you have a searx installation on your sever and want to switch to SearXNG, you need to uninstall searx first. If you have an old searx docker installation replace your docker image / see installation docker.

If your searx instance was installed "Step by step" or by the "Installation scripts", you need to undo the installation procedure completely. If you have morty & filtron installed, it is recommended to uninstall these services also. In case of scripts, to uninstall use the scripts from the origin you installed searx from or try:

$ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh remve all
$ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh remve all
$ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh remve all

If you have removed the old searx installation, clone from SearXNG and and start with your installation procedure (e.g. installation scripts):

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searxng
$ cd searxng
$ ...

.config.sh

Please take into account; SearXNG has normalized .config.sh with settings.yml and some of the environment settings has been removed from or renamed in the .config.sh:

  • [mod] normalize .config.sh with settings.yml <f61c918d>
  • [fix] ./utils/filtron.sh - FILTRON_TARGET from YAML settings <7196a9b5>
  • SearXNG: SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH <253b8503>

Check after Installation

Once you have done your installation, you can run a SearXNG check procedure, to see if there are some left overs. In this example there exists a old /etc/searx/settings.yml:

$ sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh instance check

============================
SearXNG (check installation)
============================
ERROR: settings.yml in /etc/searx/ is deprecated, move file to folder /etc/searxng/
INFO:  SearXNG instance already installed at: /usr/local/searx/searx-src
...
INFO:  Service account searx exists.
INFO:  ~searx: python environment is available.
INFO:  ~searx: SearXNG software is installed.
INFO:  uWSGI app searxng.ini is enabled.
INFO    searx                         : merge the default settings ( /usr/local/searx/searx-src/searx/settings.yml ) and the user setttings ( /etc/searxng/settings.yml )
INFO    searx                         : max_request_timeout=None

To check the filtron & morty installations, use similar commands:

$ sudo -H /utils/filtron.sh install check
$ sudo -H /utils/morty.sh   install check
