Issue with .env File Not Updating settings.yml in Docker

[megvadulthangya]

Hi Guys!!

I'm encountering an issue with the SearxNG Docker setup where changes made to the .env file are not reflected in the settings.yml file. Despite modifying the .env variables (such as SEARXNG_BASE_URL, SEARXNG_INSTANCE_NAME, etc.), the settings.yml does not get updated with the expected values.

Here are the details of the issue:

I modified the .env file to include custom values for various configuration parameters.
After running the Docker container, I expected the changes to be automatically applied to the settings.yml file.
However, the settings.yml remains unchanged and continues to use default values.
Steps to reproduce:

Modify the .env file in the SearxNG Docker setup.
Start the Docker container.
Check the settings.yml file for updates.
Expected behavior:

The values in the .env file should automatically update the corresponding entries in settings.yml when the container is started.

Actual behavior:

No updates are applied to settings.yml, and it retains the default configuration.

Additional context:

Docker version: [Insert your Docker version]
SearxNG Docker setup: [Insert the relevant commit or tag used]
Would appreciate any assistance or guidance on how to make the .env file correctly update the settings.yml file.

"env_file:
