[Solved] Asking for help with running SearXNG on Proxmox (thelemmy.club)

Hi!

Does anyone host SearXNG on a Proxmox container? I can get it to install and run fine. However all search engines return HTTP connection errors. I'm guessing it's an Apache misconfig perhaps. Could be something else.

This is using the manual install method. Followed it from their instructions. I'm a docker newb so chose the manual method with Apache and UWSGI instead.

The LXC config itself seems fine. Gave it 2GB RAM and swap. It can reach/ping google/bing etc. Having done a general search, I've not found something useful. :(

Curl works for google and also with bing. Just as pinging and wget. This instance is not public facing so it does not have an assigned domain. I'm trying to run it locally at the moment.

Apache logs (/var/log/apache2/error.log) does show up something interesting. Thought it might be Apache or UWSGI. UWSGI has issues with connecting to a socket it seems. x.x.x.x is my desktop IP.

According to systemd, apache2 and uwsgi both run without error.

None of this runs in a docker so can't look there. This is all on a LXC.
