- 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.
