<p>This blog post is written for experienced admins and developers / readers
should have a serious meaning about: <em>distributed</em>, <em>merge</em> and <em>linux
container</em>.</p>
</div>

<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
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>
<div class="section" id="motivation">
<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1">Motivation</a><a class="headerlink" href="#motivation" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<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
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
software:</p>
<ul class="simple">

<li><p><a class="reference internal" href="../utils/morty.sh.html#morty-sh"><span class="std std-ref">utils/morty.sh</span></a></p></li>
</ul>
<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
even development tasks over a stack of containers, what we call: <em>Searxs lxc
suite</em>.</p>

<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
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searx-archlinux</span></code>. Lets build the container, but be sure that this 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
<a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/searx/searx/blob/master/utils/templates/etc/uwsgi/apps-archlinux/searx.ini">git://utils/templates/etc/uwsgi/apps-archlinux/searx.ini</a>, from where at
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
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">http</span></code>:</p>
<div class="highlight-none notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>env = SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH=/etc/searx/settings.yml
http = 127.0.0.1:8888
chdir = /usr/local/searx/searx-src/searx
virtualenv = /usr/local/searx/searx-pyenv
pythonpath = /usr/local/searx/searx-src
</pre></div>
</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">
<div aria-label="Tabbed content" class="closeable" role="tablist"><button aria-controls="panel-13-Y29udGFpbmVyIGJlY29tZXMgYSBkZXZlbG9wZXIgc3VpdGU=" aria-selected="true" class="sphinx-tabs-tab group-tab" id="tab-13-Y29udGFpbmVyIGJlY29tZXMgYSBkZXZlbG9wZXIgc3VpdGU=" name="Y29udGFpbmVyIGJlY29tZXMgYSBkZXZlbG9wZXIgc3VpdGU=" role="tab" tabindex="0">container becomes a developer suite</button></div><div aria-labelledby="tab-13-Y29udGFpbmVyIGJlY29tZXMgYSBkZXZlbG9wZXIgc3VpdGU=" class="sphinx-tabs-panel group-tab" id="panel-13-Y29udGFpbmVyIGJlY29tZXMgYSBkZXZlbG9wZXIgc3VpdGU=" name="Y29udGFpbmVyIGJlY29tZXMgYSBkZXZlbG9wZXIgc3VpdGU=" role="tabpanel" tabindex="0"><div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux <span class="se">\</span>

$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux <span class="se">\</span>
ln -s /share/searx/ /usr/local/searx/searx-src
</pre></div>
</div>
</div></div>
<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>
<div class="sphinx-tabs docutils container">
<div aria-label="Tabbed content" class="closeable" role="tablist"><button aria-controls="panel-14-ZGVza3RvcA==" aria-selected="true" class="sphinx-tabs-tab group-tab" id="tab-14-ZGVza3RvcA==" name="ZGVza3RvcA==" role="tab" tabindex="0">desktop</button></div><div aria-labelledby="tab-14-ZGVza3RvcA==" class="sphinx-tabs-panel group-tab" id="panel-14-ZGVza3RvcA==" name="ZGVza3RvcA==" role="tabpanel" tabindex="0"><div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux <span class="se">\</span>
systemctl restart uwsgi@searx
</pre></div>
</div>
</div></div>
<p>Remember: <a class="reference internal" href="#working-in-containers"><span class="std std-ref">In containers, work as usual</span></a> .. here are just some examples from my
daily usage:</p>
<div class="sphinx-tabs docutils container">
<div aria-label="Tabbed content" class="closeable" role="tablist"><button aria-controls="panel-15-ZGVza3RvcA==" aria-selected="true" class="sphinx-tabs-tab group-tab" id="tab-15-ZGVza3RvcA==" name="ZGVza3RvcA==" role="tab" tabindex="0">desktop</button></div><div aria-labelledby="tab-15-ZGVza3RvcA==" class="sphinx-tabs-panel group-tab" id="panel-15-ZGVza3RvcA==" name="ZGVza3RvcA==" role="tabpanel" tabindex="0"><p>To <em>inspect</em> the searx instance (already described above):</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux <span class="se">\</span>
./utils/searx.sh inspect service
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Run <a class="reference internal" href="../dev/makefile.html#makefile"><span class="std std-ref">Makefile</span></a>, e.g. to test inside the container:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux <span class="se">\</span>
make <span class="nb">test</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To install all prerequisites needed for a <a class="reference internal" href="../admin/buildhosts.html#buildhosts"><span class="std std-ref">Buildhosts</span></a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux <span class="se">\</span>
./utils/searx.sh install buildhost
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To build the docs on a buildhost <a class="reference internal" href="../admin/buildhosts.html#buildhosts"><span class="std std-ref">Buildhosts</span></a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux <span class="se">\</span>

<p>We build up a fully functional searx suite in a archlinux container:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh install suite searx-archlinux
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>To access HTTP from the desktop we installed nginx for the services inside the
conatiner:</p>
<div class="sphinx-tabs docutils container">
<div aria-label="Tabbed content" class="closeable" role="tablist"><button aria-controls="panel-16-W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" aria-selected="true" class="sphinx-tabs-tab group-tab" id="tab-16-W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" name="W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" role="tab" tabindex="0">[<a class="reference external" href="mailto:root&#37;&#52;&#48;searx-archlinux">root<span>&#64;</span>searx-archlinux</a>]</button></div><div aria-labelledby="tab-16-W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" class="sphinx-tabs-panel group-tab" id="panel-16-W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" name="W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" role="tabpanel" tabindex="0"><div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ ./utils/filtron.sh nginx install
$ ./utils/morty.sh nginx install
</pre></div>
</div>
</div></div>
<p>To wrap the suite into a developer one, we created a symbolic link to the
repository which is shared <strong>transparent</strong> from the desktops file system into
the container :</p>
<div class="sphinx-tabs docutils container">
<div aria-label="Tabbed content" class="closeable" role="tablist"><button aria-controls="panel-17-W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" aria-selected="true" class="sphinx-tabs-tab group-tab" id="tab-17-W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" name="W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" role="tab" tabindex="0">[<a class="reference external" href="mailto:root&#37;&#52;&#48;searx-archlinux">root<span>&#64;</span>searx-archlinux</a>]</button></div><div aria-labelledby="tab-17-W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" class="sphinx-tabs-panel group-tab" id="panel-17-W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" name="W3Jvb3RAc2VhcngtYXJjaGxpbnV4XQ==" role="tabpanel" tabindex="0"><div class="highlight-sh notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ mv /usr/local/searx/searx-src /usr/local/searx/searx-src.old
$ ln -s /share/searx/ /usr/local/searx/searx-src
$ systemctl restart uwsgi@searx
</pre></div>
</div>
</div></div>
<p>To get remarks from the suite of the archlinux container we can use:</p>
<div class="sphinx-tabs docutils container">
