| With the use of *Linux Containers* (LXC_) we can scale our tasks over a stack of
 | |
| containers, what we call the: *lxc suite*.  The :ref:`lxc-searxng.env` is
 | |
| loaded by default, every time you start the ``lxc.sh`` script (*you do not need
 | |
| to care about*).

| Install LXD
 | |
| ===========
 | |
| 
 | |
| Before you can start with containers, you need to install and initiate LXD_
 | |
| once::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ snap install lxd
 | |
|   $ lxd init --auto
 | |
| 
 | |
| To make use of the containers from the *SearXNG suite*, you have to build the
 | |
| :ref:`LXC suite containers <lxc.sh help>` initial.  But be warned, **this might
 | |
| take some time**::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. sidebar:: hint
 | |
| 
 | |
|    If you have issues with the internet connectivity of your containers read
 | |
|    section :ref:`internet connectivity docker`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| A cup of coffee later, your LXC suite is build up and you can run whatever task
 | |
| you want / in a selected or even in all :ref:`LXC suite containers <lxc.sh
 | |
| help>`.

| Internet Connectivity & Docker
 | |
| ------------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. sidebar::  further read
 | |
| 
 | |
|    - `Docker blocking network of existing LXC containers <https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/103>`__
 | |
|    - `Docker and IPtables (fralef.me) <https://fralef.me/docker-and-iptables.html>`__
 | |
|    - `Docker and iptables (docker.com) <https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/#docker-on-a-router/>`__
 | |
| 
 | |
| There is a conflict in the ``iptables`` setup of Docker & LXC.  If you have
 | |
| docker installed, you may find that the internet connectivity of your LXD
 | |
| containers no longer work.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Whenever docker is started (reboot) it sets the iptables policy for the
 | |
| ``FORWARD`` chain to ``DROP`` `[ref]
 | |
| <https://docs.docker.com/network/iptables/#docker-on-a-router>`__::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H iptables-save | grep FORWARD
 | |
|   :FORWARD ACCEPT [7048:7851230]
 | |
|   :FORWARD DROP [7048:7851230]
 | |
| 
 | |
| A handy solution of this problem might be to reset the policy for the
 | |
| ``FORWARD`` chain after the network has been initialized.  For this create a
 | |
| file in the ``if-up`` section of the network (``/etc/network/if-up.d/iptable``)
 | |
| and insert the following lines::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   #!/bin/sh
 | |
|   iptables -F FORWARD
 | |
|   iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
 | |
| 
 | |
| Don't forget to set the execution bit::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   sudo chmod ugo+x /etc/network/if-up.d/iptable
 | |
| 
 | |
| Reboot your system and check the iptables rules::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H iptables-save | grep FORWARD
 | |
|   :FORWARD ACCEPT [7048:7851230]
 | |
|   :FORWARD ACCEPT [7048:7851230]

| SearXNG LXC suite
 | |
| =================
 | |
| 
 | |
| The intention of the *SearXNG LXC suite* is to build up a suite of containers
 | |
| for development tasks or :ref:`buildhosts <Setup SearXNG buildhost>` with a very
 | |
| small set of simple commands.  At the end of the ``--help`` output the SearXNG
 | |
| suite from the :ref:`lxc-searxng.env` is introduced::
 | |
| 
 | |
|    $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh --help
 | |
|    ...
 | |
|    LXC suite: searxng
 | |
|      Suite includes installation of SearXNG
 | |
|      images:     ubu2004 ubu2204 fedora35 archlinux
 | |
|      containers: searxng-ubu2004 searxng-ubu2204 searxng-fedora35 searxng-archlinux
 | |
| 
 | |
| As shown above there are images and containers build up on this images.  To show
 | |
| more info about the containers in the *SearXNG LXC suite* call ``show suite``.
 | |
| If this is the first time you make use of the SearXNG LXC suite, no containers
 | |
| are installed and the output is::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh show suite
 | |
| 
 | |
|   LXC suite (searxng-*)

 | |
| 
 | |
| If you do not want to run a command or a build in all containers, **you can
 | |
| build just one**. Here by example in the container that is build upon the
 | |
| *archlinux* image::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build searxng-archlinux
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searxng-archlinux pwd
 | |
| 
 | |
| Otherwise, to apply a command to all containers you can use::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- ls -la .
 | |
| 
 | |
| Running commands
 | |
| ----------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Inside containers, you can run scripts** from the :ref:`toolboxing` or run
 | |
| what ever command you need.  By example, to start a bash use::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searxng-archlinux bash
 | |
|   INFO:  [searxng-archlinux] bash
 | |
|   [root@searxng-archlinux SearXNG]#
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. _Good to know:
 | |
| 
 | |
| Good to know
 | |
| ------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Each container shares the root folder of the repository and the command
 | |
| ``utils/lxc.sh cmd`` **handle relative path names transparent**::
 | |
| 
 | |
|  $ pwd
 | |
|  /share/SearXNG
 | |
| 
 | |
|  $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searxng-archlinux pwd
 | |
|  INFO:  [searxng-archlinux] pwd
 | |
|  /share/SearXNG
 | |
| 
 | |
| The path ``/share/SearXNG`` will be different on your HOST system.  The commands
 | |
| in the container are executed by the ``root`` inside of the container.  Compare
 | |
| output of::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ ls -li Makefile
 | |
|   47712402 -rw-rw-r-- 1 markus markus 2923 Apr 19 13:52 Makefile
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searxng-archlinux ls -li Makefile
 | |
|   INFO:  [searxng-archlinux] ls -li Makefile
 | |
|   47712402 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 2923 Apr 19 11:52 Makefile
 | |
|   ...
 | |
| 
 | |
| Since the path ``/share/SearXNG`` of the HOST system is wrapped into the
 | |
| container under the same name, the shown ``Makefile`` (inode ``47712402``) in
 | |
| the output is always the identical ``/share/SearXNG/Makefile`` from the HOST
 | |
| system.  In the example shown above the owner of the path in the container is
 | |
| the ``root`` user of the container (and the timezone in the container is
 | |
| different to HOST system).

 | |
| .. sidebar::  further read
 | |
| 
 | |
|    - :ref:`working in containers`
 | |
|    - :ref:`FORCE_TIMEOUT <FORCE_TIMEOUT>`
 | |
| 
 | |
| To install the complete :ref:`SearXNG suite <lxc-searxng.env>` into **all** LXC_
 | |
| containers leave the container argument empty and run::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh install suite
 | |
| 
 | |
| To *build & install* suite only in one container you can use by example::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh build searxng-archlinux
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh install suite searxng-archlinux
 | |
| 
 | |
| The command above installs a SearXNG suite (see :ref:`installation scripts`).
 | |
| To :ref:`install a nginx <installation nginx>` reverse proxy (or alternatively
 | |
| use :ref:`apache <installation apache>`)::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- FORCE_TIMEOUT=0 ./utils/searxng.sh install nginx
 | |
| 
 | |
| Same operation just in one container of the suite::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd searxng-archlinux FORCE_TIMEOUT=0 ./utils/searxng.sh install nginx
 | |
| 
 | |
| The :ref:`FORCE_TIMEOUT <FORCE_TIMEOUT>` environment is set to zero to run the
 | |
| script without user interaction.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To get the IP (URL) of the SearXNG service in the containers use ``show suite``
 | |
| command.  To test instances from containers just open the URLs in your
 | |
| WEB-Browser::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo ./utils/lxc.sh show suite | grep SEARXNG_URL
 | |
| 
 | |
|   [searxng-ubu2110]      SEARXNG_URL          : http://n.n.n.170/searxng
 | |
|   [searxng-ubu2004]      SEARXNG_URL          : http://n.n.n.160/searxng
 | |
|   [searxnggfedora35]     SEARXNG_URL          : http://n.n.n.150/searxng

| Clean up
 | |
| --------
 | |
| 
 | |
| If there comes the time you want to **get rid off all** the containers and
 | |
| **clean up local images** just type::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh remove
 | |
|   $ sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh remove images

| Setup SearXNG buildhost
 | |
| =======================
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can **install the SearXNG buildhost environment** into one or all containers.
 | |
| The installation procedure to set up a :ref:`build host<buildhosts>` takes its
 | |
| time.  Installation in all containers will take more time (time for another cup
 | |
| of coffee). ::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- ./utils/searxng.sh install buildhost
 | |
