SearXNG never started on rootless Docker — base install or instance, it restart-looped from the first boot and the web UI was never reachable. Cause is a specific capability combination, not a general permissions problem. The image's entrypoint runs as root and, on first start, chowns the mounted config dir to searxng:searxng (uid 977) using CHOWN, then immediately copies settings.yml into the directory it has just given away. The compose dropped ALL capabilities and added back only CHOWN, SETGID and SETUID — so the chown succeeded and the write did not, because root cannot write to a 0755 directory owned by another uid without DAC_OVERRIDE: cp: can't create '/etc/searxng/settings.yml': Permission denied !!! "/etc/searxng/settings.yml" is not a valid file, exiting... Isolated the cause by running the image against fresh directories: it fails with the shipped cap set and succeeds with DAC_OVERRIDE added, everything else identical. Granting CHOWN without DAC_OVERRIDE is the exact breaking pair; all other capabilities stay dropped. Verified end to end: base install and a --local instance both come up and serve 200 on their own random ports, each with its own settings.yml and a distinct secret_key. This also completes the instance verification that was blocked earlier — searxng could not be runtime-tested while the app could not boot. Both test installs were removed afterwards. Separate pre-existing bug, not fixed here: the install hook applies the theme with sed s/simple_style: auto/.../ but the generated settings.yml contains no style keys at all, so the substitution matches nothing and CFG_SEARXNG_THEME has never had any effect. Fixing it means inserting a ui: block rather than replacing a line, which is a different mechanism and wants its own change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
