<p>In PR <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/1803">#1803</a> we added a lot of scripts to Searxs boilerplate. In this blog
2020-06-29 08:26:27 +02:00
post I will show you, how you can make use of them in <em>distributed and
heterogeneous development cycles</em> (TL;DR; jump to the <a class="reference internal" href="#blog-lxcdev-202006-abstract"><span class="std std-ref">Abstract</span></a>).</p>

<p>Normally 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> before we commit. This cycle is simple and perfect but
might fail in some aspects we should not overlook.</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p>The environment in which we run all our development processes matters!</p>
</div></blockquote>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../dev/makefile.html#makefile"><span class="std std-ref">Makefile</span></a> and the <a class="reference internal" href="../dev/makefile.html#make-install"><span class="std std-ref">Python environment</span></a> encapsulate a lot for us, but they
2020-06-29 08:26:27 +02:00
do not have access to all prerequisites. For example, there may have
dependencies on packages that are installed on the developers desktop, but
usually are not preinstalled on a server or client system. Another examples
are; settings have been made to the software on the developers host that would
never be set on a <em>production</em> system.</p>
<p><em>Linux Containers</em> (<a class="reference external" href="https://linuxcontainers.org/lxc/introduction/">LXC</a>) are isolate environments and not to mix up on
developers all the prerequisites of all the projects he contribute to, is
always a good choice.</p>

<p>The scripts from PR <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/searx/searx/pull/1803">#1803</a> can divide in those to install and maintain

<p>and the script <a class="reference internal" href="../utils/lxc.sh.html#lxc-sh"><span class="std std-ref">utils/lxc.sh</span></a>, with we can scale our installation, maintenance or

<p>Before you can start with containers, you need to install and initiate <a class="reference external" href="https://linuxcontainers.org/lxd/introduction/">LXD</a>

we exercise on a <a class="reference external" href="https://www.archlinux.org/">archlinux</a> image. The container of this image is named

<p>On your system, the IP of your <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searx-archlinux</span></code> container differs from
<a class="reference external" href="http://10.174.184.156/searx">http://10.174.184.156/searx</a>, just open the URL reported in your installation
protocol in your WEB browser from the desktop to test the instance from outside
of the container.</p>
<p>In such a searx suite admins can maintain and access the debug log of the
different services quite easy.</p>

2020-06-29 08:26:27 +02:00
<p>In this section we will see how to change the <em>“Fully functional searx 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-searx.html#installation-basic"><span class="std std-ref">Step by step installation</span></a>:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>searx setup in: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/etc/searx/settings.yml</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>searx users home: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/local/searx</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>virtualenv in: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/local/searx/searx-pyenv</span></code></p></li>
<li><p>searx software in: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/usr/local/searx/searx-src</span></code></p></li>
</ul>
<p>The searx software is a clone of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git_url</span></code> (see <a class="reference internal" href="../admin/settings.html#settings-global"><span class="std std-ref">Global Settings</span></a>) and
the working tree is checked out from the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">git_branch</span></code>. With the use of the

<a class="reference internal" href="../utils/searx.sh.html#searx-sh"><span class="std std-ref">utils/searx.sh</span></a> the searx service was installed as <a class="reference internal" href="../admin/installation-uwsgi.html#searx-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-configuration"><span class="std std-ref">service architectures on distributions</span></a>).</p>
<div class="sphinx-tabs docutils container">

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

least you should attend the settings of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">uid</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">chdir</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">env</span></code> and

</div>
<p>If you have read the <a class="reference internal" href="../utils/lxc.sh.html#lxc-sh"><span class="std std-ref">“Good to know section”</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>. To wrap the
searx installation into a developer one, we simple have to create a smylink to
the <strong>transparent</strong> reposetory from the desktop. Now lets replace the
repository at <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searx-src</span></code> in the container with the working tree from outside
of the container:</p>
<div class="sphinx-tabs docutils container">

2020-06-29 08:26:27 +02:00
<p>Now we can develop as usual in the working tree of our desktop system. Every
time the software was changed, you have to restart the searx service (in the
conatiner):</p>

<p>To access HTTP from the desktop we installed nginx for the services inside the

<p>To wrap the suite into a developer one, we created a symbolic link to the

the container :</p>
