</ul>
</aside>
<p>SearXNG is a <em>rolling release</em>; each commit to the master branch is a release.
SearXNG is growing rapidly, the services and opportunities are change every now
and then, to name just a few:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Bot protection has been switched from filtron to SearXNGs <a class="reference internal" href="searx.limiter.html#limiter"><span class="std std-ref">limiter</span></a>, this requires a <a class="reference internal" href="settings/settings_redis.html#settings-redis"><span class="std std-ref">Redis</span></a> database.</p></li>
<li><p>The image proxy morty is no longer needed, it has been replaced by the
<a class="reference internal" href="settings/settings_server.html#image-proxy"><span class="std std-ref">image proxy</span></a> from SearXNG.</p></li>
<li><p>To save bandwidth <a class="reference internal" href="settings/settings_ui.html#static-use-hash"><span class="std std-ref">cache busting</span></a> has been implemented.
To get in use, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">static-expires</span></code> needs to be set in the <a class="reference internal" href="installation-uwsgi.html#uwsgi-setup"><span class="std std-ref">uWSGI setup</span></a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>To stay tuned and get in use of the new features, instance maintainers have to
update the SearXNG code regularly (see <a class="reference internal" href="#update-searxng"><span class="std std-ref">How to update</span></a>). As the above
examples show, this is not always enough, sometimes services have to be set up
or reconfigured and sometimes services that are no longer needed should be
uninstalled.</p>
<div class="admonition hint">
<p class="admonition-title">Hint</p>
<p>First of all: SearXNG is installed by the script <a class="reference internal" href="../utils/searxng.sh.html#searxng-sh"><span class="std std-ref">utils/searxng.sh</span></a>. If you
have old filtron, morty or searx setup you should consider complete
uninstall/reinstall.</p>
</div>
<p>Here you will find a list of changes that affect the infrastructure. Please
check to what extent it is necessary to update your installations:</p>
<dl class="simple">
<dt><a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1595">PR 1595</a>: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[fix]</span> <span class="pre">uWSGI:</span> <span class="pre">increase</span> <span class="pre">buffer-size</span></code></dt><dd><p>Re-install uWSGI (<a class="reference internal" href="../utils/searxng.sh.html#searxng-sh"><span class="std std-ref">utils/searxng.sh</span></a>) or fix your uWSGI <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searxng.ini</span></code>
file manually.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<section id="remove-obsolete-services">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6" role="doc-backlink">remove obsolete services</a><a class="headerlink" href="#remove-obsolete-services" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>If your searx instance was installed <em>“Step by step”</em> or by the <em>“Installation
scripts”</em>, you need to undo the installation procedure completely. If you have
morty &amp; 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 or try:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh remove all
$ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh remove all
$ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh remove all
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition hint">
<p class="admonition-title">Hint</p>
<p>If you are migrate from searx take into account that the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.config.sh</span></code> is no
longer used.</p>
</div>
<p>If you upgrade from searx or from before <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/1332">PR 1332</a> has been merged and you
have filtron and/or morty installed, dont forget to remove HTTP sites.</p>
<p>Apache:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh apache remove
$ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh apache remove
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>nginx:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>$ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh nginx remove
$ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh nginx remove
</pre></div>
</div>

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id7" role="doc-backlink">Check after Installation</a><a class="headerlink" href="#check-after-installation" title="Link to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>Once you have done your installation, you can run a SearXNG <em>check</em> procedure,
to see if there are some left overs. In this example there exists a <em>old</em>
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/etc/searx/settings.yml</span></code>:</p>
