<p class="sidebar-title">Audience</p>
<p>This blog post is written for experienced admins and developers. Readers
should have a serious meaning about the terms: <em>distributed</em>, <em>merge</em> and
<em>linux container</em>.</p>
<p><strong>hint</strong></p>
<p>If you have issues with the internet connectivity of your containers read

<p>Most often in our development cycle, we edit the sources and run some test
and/or builds by using <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make</span></code> <a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#makefile"><span class="std std-ref">[ref]</span></a> before we commit. This
cycle is simple and perfect but might fail in some aspects we should not
overlook.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p><strong>The environment in which we run all our development processes matters!</strong></p>
</div></blockquote>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#makefile"><span class="std std-ref">Makefile &amp; ./manage</span></a> and the <a class="reference internal" href="makefile.html#make-install"><span class="std std-ref">Python environment (make install)</span></a> encapsulate a lot for us, but
these tools do not have access to all prerequisites. For example, there may
have dependencies on packages that are installed on developer’s desktop, but
usually are not preinstalled on a server or client system. Another example is;
settings have been made to the software on developer’s desktop that would never
be set on a <em>production</em> system.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p><strong>Linux Containers are isolate environments</strong>, we use them to not mix up all
the prerequisites from various projects on developer’s desktop.</p>

<p>The scripts from <a class="reference internal" href="../utils/index.html#searx-utils"><span class="std std-ref">DevOps tooling box</span></a> can divide in those to install and maintain

</aside>
<p>In such a SearXNG suite admins can maintain and access the debug log of the
services quite easy.</p>
<p>In the example above the SearXNG instance in the container is wrapped to
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">http://n.n.n.140/searxng</span></code> to the HOST system. Note, on your HOST system, the
IP of your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searxng-archlinux</span></code> container is different to this example. To
test the instance in the container from outside of the container, in your WEB
browser on your desktop just open the URL reported in your installation</p>

<p>In this section we will see how to change the <em>“Fully functional SearXNG suite”</em>
from a LXC container (which is quite ready for production) into a developer
suite. For this, we have to keep an eye on the <a class="reference internal" href="../admin/installation-searxng.html#installation-basic"><span class="std std-ref">Step by step installation</span></a>:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>SearXNG setup in: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/etc/searxng/settings.yml</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>SearXNG user’s home: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/local/searxng</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>virtualenv in: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/local/searxng/searxng-pyenv</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>SearXNG software in: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/local/searxng/searxng-src</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>With the use of the <a class="reference internal" href="../utils/searxng.sh.html#searxng-sh"><span class="std std-ref">utils/searxng.sh</span></a> the SearXNG service was installed as
<a class="reference internal" href="../admin/installation-uwsgi.html#searxng-uwsgi"><span class="std std-ref">uWSGI application</span></a>. To maintain this service, we can use
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">systemctl</span></code> (compare <a class="reference internal" href="../admin/installation-uwsgi.html#uwsgi-maintenance"><span class="std std-ref">uWSGI maintenance</span></a>).</p>

<p>With the command above, we stopped the SearXNG uWSGI-App in the archlinux
container.</p>
<p>The uWSGI-App for the archlinux distros is configured in

<p>If you have read the <a class="reference internal" href="../utils/lxc.sh.html#good-to-know"><span class="std std-ref">Good to know</span></a> you remember, that each container
shares the root folder of the repository and the command <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">utils/lxc.sh</span> <span class="pre">cmd</span></code>
handles relative path names <strong>transparent</strong>.</p>
<p>To wrap the SearXNG installation in the container into a developer one, we
simple have to create a symlink to the <strong>transparent</strong> repository from the
desktop. Now lets replace the repository at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searxng-src</span></code> in the container
with the working tree from outside of the container:</p>
