With Sphinx-doc update 4.4.0 we get some warnings about links that can be replaced by already defined 'sphinx.ext.extlinks': admin/engines/sql-engines.rst:144: WARNING: hardcoded link 'https://pypi.org/project/mysql-connector-python' could be replaced by an extlink (try using ':pypi:`mysql-connector-python`' instead) docs/admin/installation-switch2ng.rst:10: WARNING: hardcoded link 'https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/446#issuecomment-954730358' could be replaced by an extlink (try using ':pull:`446#issuecomment-954730358`' instead) Signed-off-by: Markus Heiser <markus.heiser@darmarit.de>

A comment about rolling release <446#issuecomment-954730358>
Contents
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 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. installation scripts
):
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
:
[mod] normalize .config.sh with settings.yml <f61c918d>
[fix] ./utils/filtron.sh - FILTRON_TARGET from YAML settings <7196a9b5>
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/

...

To check the filtron & morty installations, use similar commands:
$ sudo -H /utils/filtron.sh install check
$ sudo -H /utils/morty.sh install check
