Report this to searxng Repo, not to us. We only provide the Script - and the Script is Just working. All other need to reported to there repo

Ok I will do that thanks for the quick reply

[Externalnet]

You're missing the limiter.toml file I think. Either disable the limiter at https://github.com/community-scripts/ProxmoxVE/blob/main/install/searxng-install.sh#L57 or copy the file from the searxng repo to the searxng config path.

With my comment in searxng/searxng#4870 (comment) I meant to say that we don't support other kind of setups in our issue tracker and thus the discussion should have been moved to the community matrix room, not that support for it has to be dropped here.

Thanks for joining it, we totally understand that not everyone can support custom installs, that's why we are still always thankful for hints like these. ^^

I just changed our scripts to not use a limiter by default, if a user likes to use one, its pretty easy to set up in /etc/searxng/by creating the limiter file, changing the settings.yml, by setting limiter to true and change the searnx config path in the service file.

Edit: PR is merged, feel free to run the update command or re-run the script inside LXC to apply the fix.
Let me know @Externalnet if that fixes your issues.
