I've got searxng running nicely, I can successfully set it as my default search (firefox) via clicking the URL bar and adding it to my search list. However, when i actually search, it's searching "https://192.168.1.65/search" instead of "http://192.168.1.65:8887/search". Nothing changes this for the life of me. This results in firefox's 'unable to connect' screen, since the url and http vs https are wrong. I'm hosting locally on my network server and I have no desire to open it to the outside network.

I started self-hosting recently. Getting the hang of it, and have immich and paperless-ngx running. Other stuff too, but those 2 have data i'd like to retain. I'd like to commit to switching over to these services, and possibly others in the future, however I need to figure out back ups. Until now, I've kept all data on my NAS, and back ups on flash drives. Some i keep here, some i keep off-site (3-2-1 strategy), all encrypted. I'd like to follow a similar strategy, but going forward i'll likely have tons of meta data and configs associated with these files and services, which will be just as valuable to backup. Is it simple as copying a folder over, or is there popular back up strategy most people use. Again i'm new, not trying to over complicate things, but don't want all my eggs in one basket.

Noob starting first server. Installed Ubuntu server, and opted for LVM. However, will that cause me problems on a headless server if I get a power outage and need to reboot? I think yes. Is there a solution, or should i remove LVM before i go too deep setting things up?
