I hosted searxng on portainer and receive PermissionError
and no python application found
error
Log:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/searxng/settings.yml'
unable to load app 0 (mountpoint='') (callable not found or import error)
*** no app loaded. going in full dynamic mode ***
***
no python application found, check your startup logs for errors

thx a lot!
Glad to see you got it working. One thing to add that you might find useful:
This is an indication that the container has stopped. Because you have
restart: unless-stopped
set, the container is stuck in a bootloop so portainer will always show a state of eitherstarting
orrunning
. Docker container automatically stop when the application inside the container has exited or completed... Often because the application has encountered an error.Some more information that may or may not be useful:
A good example of a container stopped because the application has finished is the Cross-seed container that people use to cross reference their torrents seeding in their bittorrent client with torrents available on other torrent trackers. In this case, the application runs a search on each tracker, downloads the files and once the search is done the application exits and then the docker container will stop.
thank you!
