- ============================
 
- Switch from searx to SearXNG

- If you have a searx installation on your sever and want to switch to SearXNG,
 
- you need to uninstall searx first.  If you have an old searx docker installation
 
- replace your docker image / see :ref:`installation docker`.
 
- If your searx instance was installed *"Step by step"* or by the *"Installation
 
- scripts"*, you need to undo the installation procedure completely.  If you have
 
- morty & filtron installed, it is recommended to uninstall these services also.
 
- In case of scripts, to uninstall use the scripts from the origin you installed
 
- searx from.
 
- If you have removed the old searx installation, clone from SearXNG and and start
 
- with your installation procedure (e.g. :ref:`installation scripts`):
 
- .. code:: bash
 
-    $ cd ~/Downloads
 
-    $ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searxng
 
-    $ cd searxng
 
-    $ ...
 
- ``.config.sh``
 
- ==============
 
- Please take into account; SearXNG has normalized ``.config.sh`` with
 
- ``settings.yml`` and some of the environment settings has been removed from or
 
- renamed in the ``.config.sh``:
 
- - :patch:`[mod] normalize .config.sh with settings.yml <f61c918d>`
 
- - :patch:`[fix] ./utils/filtron.sh - FILTRON_TARGET from YAML settings <7196a9b5>`
 
- - :patch:`SearXNG: SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH <253b8503>`
 
- Check after Installation
 
- ========================
 
- Once you have done your installation, you can run a SearXNG *check* procedure,
 
- to see if there are some left overs.  In this example there exists a *old*
 
- ``/etc/searx/settings.yml``::
 
-    $ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh install check
 
-    ============================
 
-    SearXNG (check installation)
 
-    ============================
 
-    ERROR: settings.yml in /etc/searx/ is deprecated, move file to folder /etc/searxng/
 
-    INFO:  SearXNG instance already installed at: /usr/local/searx/searx-src
 
-    ...
 
-    INFO:  Service account searx exists.
 
-    INFO:  ~searx: python environment is available.
 
-    INFO:  ~searx: SearXNG software is installed.
 
-    INFO:  uWSGI app searxng.ini is enabled.
 
-    INFO    searx                         : merge the default settings ( /usr/local/searx/searx-src/searx/settings.yml ) and the user setttings ( /etc/searxng/settings.yml )
 
-    INFO    searx                         : max_request_timeout=None
 
- To *check* the filtron & morty installations, use similar commands::
 
-   $ sudo -H /utils/filtron.sh install check
 
-   $ sudo -H /utils/morty.sh   install check
