Arch Linux User Repository

@zynex, would you mind sharing the systemd service file?

@HLFH Updated python-msgspec and searx-ng. It all works now. Although the systemd service pointed to /usr/bin/searxng-run, and had to change it to /var/lib/searxng/.venv/bin/searxng-run (might have created the systemd service myself?). The /var/lib/searxng/.venv/bin/searxng-run pointed to a python in my home folder though for some reason? But changed the first line to #!/var/lib/searxng/.venv/bin/python, then it worked :)

I know it's not a discussion here but I'll do it anyway : Thank you very much for this !!! It works great (I tested docker but it wasn't as good, specially with suspend on my computer).

The package has been fixed.
The requirements from requirements.txt are now perfectly matched.
searxng-git now uses a python virtual environment which is the best Arch Linux setup for python packages.

@morsmortium
thanks. I ended up using this (it uses a docker network, avoids anonymous volumes, addresses restart policy) YMMV:
sudo docker network create searxng-net
sudo docker run -d -p 8888:8080 --name searxng --network searxng-net --restart=unless-stopped -v searxng_data:/etc/searxng searxng/searxng
hopefully, we can go back to local install once the requirements can be met.

I use the image from hub.docker.com, which I linked. After install of docker I start it with sudo dockerd. Then, I downloaded the image with sudo docker pull searxng/searxng. After that I start it with sudo docker run -d -p 8888:8080 searxng/searxng The port number is redirecting 8080 to the systems 8888 port, as something else is using 8080 for me, iirc you can write 8080:8080 to not change it. The commands are based on this article: https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-docker.html#searxng-searxng (where it seems that because of some weird formatting, spaces are replaced with the '_' character)

@morsmortium
thanks for your feedback. are you using docker-compose for that? if so, can you share the docker-compose.yaml file you use?
if you use straight docker, can you share the command you use? i have not been able to get the docker image going.
maybe post external links, or email me, if you are OK with sharing these.

I have switched to the docker image, at least until it is solved, that does work https://hub.docker.com/r/searxng/searxng

is anyone running this successfully on an up-to-date Arch system?
looks like we're still not matching these requirements?
https://github.com/searxng/searxng/blob/master/requirements.txt
i've got python-msgspec 19 -- searxng builds and seems to run but the searches crash.
any hacks to make it work? I've tried downgrading python-httpx but that does not do the trick.
python-babel version required is now 2.16.0(which I have built and installed); we're still on 2.15 officially on Arch, etc.; but there are still other requirements not met.

@DanSman I had the same problem. Remove line 58 (pytest tests/), then the package will compile. However, I have no idea what exactly the tests mean or whether they are necessary. The package is built and searx runs again.
