    No need to apologize! Thank you for working on this. :)

    The only issue is that the app requires that the config file and blocklist and allowlists should be included within the docker hub. So the issue is that if a prebuilt image is provided, then is it possible to edit it within the docker container ?? If so then it is ok, otherwise it would still be good, but it would limit the usage to users who are by default satisfied by the default config. While others would still need to build the image manually, which is not very great.

    I’m not familiar with the websurfix codebase, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work.

    I’m currently self-hosting SearXNG on a VPS, but I started by having it just locally. The important bit of that blog post is this:

    docker run -d --rm \
                  -d -p 8080:8080 \
                  -v "${HOME}/searxng:/etc/searxng" \
                  -e "BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080/" \
                  searxng/searxng
    

    I use the -v flag to mount a directory in my home to the config directory inside the docker container. SearXNG then writes the default config files there, and I can just edit them normally on ~/searxng/.

    By using a mounted volume like this, the configs are persistent, so I can restart the docker container without losing them.
