I know this sounds like more of a “how do I use computes” question than a legitimate selfhosting question, but I think it fits here. My LibreX instance is hosted and appears to be fully functional, but when I try to add it to my browser it reports its url as 127.0.0.1:8080 instead of the actual address. I tried to get it to work with chromium as a troubleshooting step, and while it did let me change the address, it had some other stuff after the search.php?q= that made it return a 404. Does anyone know how to fix this?
edit: run with -e OPEN_SEARCH_HOST=“https://yourdomain.tld” to get it to report the correct thing. You also have to remove and add it back in your search engine.

This might be an issue with opensearch.xml, which is a standard for how browsers recognise search engines.
See here:

I don’t know how you’re hosting it, but when I was hosting LibreX, I had to make an opensearch.xml with the correct domain and bind mount it to the correct location. I don’t exactly remember the details since I moved to Searxng.
Also, if you’re not aware, LibreX was forked to LibreY, which is the updated repo.
Thanks for letting me know about LibreY. I switched it over now.
