[fix] container: setup minimal (#6268)

2026-06-16T13:32:47Z

Start minimal, use defaults, and extend later on. The templates are no longer checked for changes, which was confusing and annoying after a while. See: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/6261#issuecomment-4716008282

[mod] ci: use custom static podman (#5354)

2025-10-22T12:38:59Z

We only need updated podman on `build`. `test` and `release` can use image provided container engine binaries.

[mod] container: move `base` to own repository (#5310)

2025-10-12T14:30:57Z

The base images will be now built in [another repository](https://github.com/searxng/base).

[enh] container: custom certificates (#5238)

2025-09-23T19:57:29Z

Let container instance administrators to add custom certificates: https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-docker.html#custom-certificates Closes https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5206

[fix] utils: variable expansion (#5237)

2025-09-23T18:34:28Z

Docker buildx outputs the following error: variable expansion is not supported for --from, define a new stage with FROM using ARG from global scope as a workaround. Also force BuildKit extension to be installed, legacy build is no longer supported. Closes https://github.com/searxng/searxng/issues/5219

[enh] container: compact venv (#5225)

2025-09-23T07:50:42Z

We can leverage the immutable nature of containers to add additional optimizations. No debugging or tinkering inside containers, so stripping all unused symbols inside `venv` should be fine. We are also going to compile the bytecode ourselves to modify some parameters related to reproducibility. With these small changes, we have reduced the `venv` layer size by 10MB~

[enh] container: reproducible layers (#5222)

2025-09-20T09:33:23Z

* [enh] container: reproducible layers We are not aiming for reproducibility compliance, but we look to make most builder layers reproducible without caching at least for a short period of time (until the builder's base image changes or the child dependencies of a requirements.txt package are updated). This feature is only available on Podman. This targets https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/5086 main goal. * [fix] misc: apply suggestions Suggested: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/5222#discussion_r2364630496 Suggested: https://github.com/searxng/searxng/pull/5222#discussion_r2364630511 * [enh] container: prevent useless layer
