Hello everyone!

I have updated the searxng-git AUR package (I am the maintainer).

I have:
- applied the frontend patch (of this PR), it works flawlessly ;
- removed uwsgi dependency ;
- added systemd unit searxng.service that uses searxng-run executable ;
- optimized the python virtual environment ;
- added a sample nginx conf.

python-yaml added as a makedep.

Regarding the secret_key, it is better to replace ultrasecretkey right away to have something random instead of something insecure.
When you update, the new settings.yml file will be installed as /etc/searxng/settings.yml.pacnew anyway.
The user can always edit it.

@krs ah I see, I have it now. Thank you

@withering: You'll need to recompile/reinstall the python-msgspec package now that python was upgraded to 3.14 since it will still be in the 3.13 directory on your system if you installed it prior to the update, and python will be looking in the 3.14 directory. Furthermore the python-msgspec on AUR is not compatible with python 3.14, as it hasn't been updated to 0.20 yet. So for the time being you'll have to manually tweak the PKGBUILD of python-msgspec yourself to install that version. If you have other python packages from AUR they'll similarly need to be reinstalled as well btw.

python-msgspec is not a makedep, but the thing is, even with python-msgspec installed, it actually still fails with the same error

Doesn't build in a clean env, as python-yaml is missing from the makedeps. Please add that :3

Also, the secret_key shouldn't be set at buildtime, as the resulting package shouldn't be assumed to be secret, while the installed settings.yml is. Therefore, it's the users job to configure that setting.

@troytjh I also added a searxng.example.com.conf nginx configuration file, if this can help.

@zynex The python virtual environment portability is fixed with the latest release of searxng-git.
Please try it.

HLFH commented on 2025-12-04 11:22 (UTC)

@30p87 searxng-git should work flawlessly. Please try the latest update.

HLFH commented on 2025-12-04 11:21 (UTC)

@originalsouth You can now run systemctl start searxng.service which is now available in the latest searxng-git release.
It relies on the searxng-run executable.
