<h1>Searx admin interface: manage your instance from your browser<a class="headerlink" href="#searx-admin-interface-manage-your-instance-from-your-browser" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>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.</p>
<p>To make self-hosting searx more accessible a new tool is introduced, called <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">searx-admin</span></code>.
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 <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">settings.yml</span></code> for less experienced administrators or people
who prefer graphical admin interfaces.</p>

<p class="caption"><span class="caption-text">Configuration page of engines</span></p>
</div>
<p>Since <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">searx-admin</span></code> 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.</p>
