Searx admin interface: manage your instance from your browser
|
||||
=============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
One of the biggest advantages of searx is being extremely customizable. But at first it can be daunting to newcomers.
|
||||
A barrier of taking advantage of this feature is our ugly settings file which is sometimes hard to understand and edit.
|
||||
|
||||
To make self-hosting searx more accessible a new tool is introduced, called ``searx-admin``.
|
||||
It is a web application which is capable of managing your instance and manipulating its settings via a web UI.
|
||||
It aims to replace editing of ``settings.yml`` for less experienced administrators or people
|
||||
who prefer graphical admin interfaces.

|
||||
Since ``searx-admin`` acts as a supervisor for searx, we have decided to implement it
|
||||
as a standalone tool instead of part of searx. Another reason for making it a standalone
|
||||
tool is that the codebase and dependencies of searx should not grow because of a fully optional feature,
|
||||
which does not affect existing instances.
