Common commands & environment

Scripts to maintain services often dispose of common commands and environments.

shellcommand

Opens a shell from the service user ${SERVICE_USSR}, very helpful for troubleshooting.

inspect servicecommand

Shows status and log of the service, most often you have a option to enable more verbose debug logs. Very helpful for debugging, but be careful not to enable debugging in a production environment!

FORCE_TIMEOUTenvironment

Sets timeout for interactive prompts. If you want to run a script in batch job, with defaults choices, set FORCE_TIMEOUT=0. By example; to install a reverse proxy for filtron on all containers of the searx suite use

sudo -H ./utils/lxc.sh cmd -- FORCE_TIMEOUT=0 ./utils/filtron.sh apache install

Tooling box setup

The main setup is done in the git://.config.sh (read also Global Settings).

# This environment is used by ./utils scripts like filtron.sh or searx.sh.  The
# default values are *most flexible* and *best maintained*, you normally not
# need to change the defaults (except PUBLIC_URL).
#
# Before you change any value here you have to uninstall any previous
# installation.  Further is it recommended to backup your changes simply by
# adding them to you local brand (git branch)::
#
#     git add .config

# The public URL of the searx instance: PUBLIC_URL="https://mydomain.xy/searx"
# The default is taken from ./utils/brand.env.

PUBLIC_URL="${SEARX_URL}"

if [[ ${PUBLIC_URL} == "https://searx.me" ]]; then
    # hint: Linux containers do not have DNS entries, lets use IPs
    PUBLIC_URL="http://$(primary_ip)/searx"

# Only change, if you maintain a searx brand in your searx fork (GIT_URL) which
# is not hold by branch 'master'.  The branch has to be a local branch, in the
# repository from which you install (which is most often the case).  If you want
# to install branch 'foo', don't forget to run 'git branch foo origin/foo' once.
