June 16Jun 16 It seems lots of changes breaking this container on the regular with every reboot.I ended up setting the repository to a known good for now:searxng/searxng:2026.6.13-a29cda858I also kept losing my Flask session signing key for cookies from my settings.yml file so I added the environment variable (type Variable)Name SEARXNG_SECRETKey SEARXNG_SECRETValue Paste in my ultrasecretkey from settings.ymlClick Apply.Hopefully this will prevent future config merges from breaking startup and resetting my key.
July 7Jul 7 Upgraded to UnRAID 7.3.1, and it no longer starts. Any ideas?TypeError: Unexpected keyword argument 'requires_api_key'The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.14/multiprocessing/process.py", line 320, in _bootstrap self.run() ~~~~~~~~^^ File "/usr/lib/python3.14/multiprocessing/process.py", line 108, in run self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs) ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/local/searxng/.venv/lib/python3.14/site-packages/granian/server/mp.py", line 90, in wrapped callback = callback_loader() File "/usr/local/searxng/.venv/lib/python3.14/site-packages/granian/_internal.py", line 65, in load_target module = load_module(path) File "/usr/local/searxng/.venv/lib/python3.14/site-packages/granian/_internal.py", line 47, in load_module import(module_name) ~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/local/searxng/searx/webapp.py", line 1407, in <module> init() ~~~~^^ File "/usr/local/searxng/searx/webapp.py", line 1379, in init searx.search.initialize(check_network=True, enable_metrics=metrics) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/local/searxng/searx/search/__init__.py", line 39, in initialize load_engines(settings_engines) ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/local/searxng/searx/engines/__init__.py", line 321, in load_engines engine = load_engine(engine_data) File "/usr/local/searxng/searx/engines/__init__.py", line 141, in load_engine update_engine_attributes(engine, engine_data) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/usr/local/searxng/searx/engines/__init__.py", line 200, in update_engine_attributes raise TypeError( f"engine '{engine_data['name']}' ({engine_data['engine']}) - in the about section --> {exc}" ) from excTypeError: engine 'gpodder' (json_engine) - in the about section --> Unexpected keyword argument 'requires_api_key'[ERROR] Unexpected exit from worker-1[INFO] Shutting down granian[INFO] Stopped worker-1[INFO] Granian shutdown completed, see ya!
July 7Jul 7 Author See the last few posts, searxng has recently changed stuff that requires adapting your config files.
July 12Jul 12 I can also Confirm with @House Of Cards Receiving same error during docker start. Thank you @Kilrah for your work maintaining docker container!
July 13Jul 13 Recently my instance of SearXNG stopped working. Every time it does a search, it changes the user to 977:977, which makes it impossible for SearXNG to access the files in the appdata folder. When I change it back to 99:100 I can do exactly one succesful search before it changes itself back to 977:977 again and it's unable to search.Someone suggested adding --user 977:977 to extra parameters of the docker container. I did, and now my docker container has disappeared. I can't even find it with Portainer. What is going on? How do I get my container back? And how can I make it function again without constantly switching users to 977?
August 13Aug 13 Hi all,I recently having trouble with every search and get a timeout error.

Yesterday at 05:11 PM1 day can I get some help with getting this to work with the built in tailscale function of unraid? from what i gather this is very container specific to work.this shows up in my log on start up?Executing Unraid Docker Hook for TailscaleDetecting Package Manager...ERROR: Detection from Package Manager failed!ERROR: Unraid Docker Hook script throw an error!"then it proceeds to start without tailscale
