I didnt think the poster was in bad faith, i was just genuinely curious as im not really around environments like that these days so i kind of assumed it would be something sexist or creepy.

Im curious what could come off as a joke to you but would offend a trans person but not offend other (similarly aged) people.

If your joke might be offensive to anyone, its probably best to save it for outside of the workplace if you share it at all.

Not saying dont make any jokes, just that your jokes shouldn’t be referencing someones gender or appearance or at the expense of someone else in general.

The problem is that while docker is running as root (0) the searxng process internally runs as a user searxng with id 977

So your filesystem outside of docker needs to have those files assigned the right ownership.

This thread has a more detailed discussion that you might find helpful. https://forums.truenas.com/t/how-to-install-searxng-app-docker-permissions-issue/14049/10

Yep Probably you need to change ownership and/or permissions of the files outside of docker.

I dont want to give the wrong suggestion from memory so hopefully thats enough info to get you going in the direction of a fix. Basically see what user id owns the files inside of docker, make it the same uid outside of docker in the folder you are bind mounting.

try opening a shell with ’ docker exec -it searxng sh" and see if you can cat the file from inside docker, if yes then I’m not sure of a solution ,if no then the problem is with permissions on your filesystem outside of docker where you have " - ./data/searxng:/etc/searxng" You need to go to ./data/searxng and correct the permissions so they can be read inside the docker.

open(“/etc/searxng/uwsgi.ini”): Permission denied [core/io.c line 525]

I think here is your problem. Make sure that file exists and is readable from inside of the docker.
