Markus Heiser bfef2c3b65 [fix] buildprocess of docs in LXC (containers) 
The $DOCS_BUILD variable (like all BUILD variables) in the lxc environment::

   sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searx-archlinux make docs

is different from running build process in the HOST::

   make docs

with kernel-include directive we can use the environment variables in the reST
documents to address the correct file location of the include.

Step by step installation

Contents

Step by step installation with virtualenv. For Ubuntu, be sure to have enable universe repository.

Install packages

$DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst

Hint

This installs also the packages needed by searx uwsgi

Create user

$DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst

install searx & dependencies

Start a interactive shell from new created user and clone searx:

$DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst

In the same shell create virtualenv:

$DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst

To install searx's dependencies, exit the searx bash session you opened above and restart a new. Before install, first check if your virualenv was sourced from the login (~/.profile):

$DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst

Tip

Open a second terminal for the configuration tasks and left the (searx)$ terminal open for the tasks below.

Configuration

Create a copy of the searx/settings.yml configuration file in system's /etc folder. Configure like shown below -- replace searx@\$(uname -n) with a name of your choice -- and/or edit /etc/searx/settings.yml if necessary.

$DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst

Check

To check your searx setup, optional enable debugging and start the webapp. Searx looks at the exported environment $SEARX_SETTINGS_PATH for a configuration file.

$DOCS_BUILD/includes/searx.rst

If everything works fine, hit [CTRL-C] to stop the webapp and disable the debug option in settings.yml. You can now exit searx user bash (enter exit command twice). At this point searx is not demonized; uwsgi allows this.
