SearXNG: stop rate-limiting local subagents (pass_ip covers slirp/loopback)
Root cause of the 429s: the ip_limit rate limiter caps JSON (format!=html) requests at API_MAX=4 per IP per hour, and that constant is hardcoded in Python (searx/botdetection/ip_limit.py), not settable in limiter.toml. The only bypass is pass_ip (filter_request returns before ip_limit runs). Rootless podman strips the client IP on published-port hits, so the container sees a slirp/bridge source (10.88.x/10.89.x), never the real client - hence even a LAN-IP curl 429'd on /search. Expand pass_ip to loopback + the host's private podman/slirp ranges (plus the existing LAN) so local subagents present a trusted source and skip the rate limit entirely. All these ranges are reachable only from the host or LAN, never the internet.

# ip_lists outranks every other method: an IP in pass_ip gets unrestricted

# access and is not checked by user-agent or other bot detection.

# The whole homelab LAN is trusted.
|

# access and is not checked by user-agent, rate limiting, or other bot
|

# detection. This is the ONLY bypass for the rate limiter (ip_limit): its JSON

# cap (API_MAX = 4 requests/IP/hour) is hardcoded in Python and cannot be
|

# raised from this file.

# Rootless podman strips the client IP on published-port hits: a request to the
|
||||
# published port reaches the container with a slirp/bridge source (10.88.x /
|
||||
# 10.89.x), never the real client IP. Only Caddy's X-Forwarded-For restores it.
|
||||
# So a local subagent that hits the port directly must present a pass_ip source
|
||||
# or it hits the 4/hour JSON cap. We trust loopback, the homelab LAN, and the
|
||||
# host's own private podman/slirp ranges; all are reachable only from the host
|
||||
# or LAN, never the internet.
