SearXNG queries all ~50 upstream engines from one Gluetun VPN exit IP, so rate-sensitive engines (Google, DuckDuckGo) answer with reCAPTCHA/429 and SearXNG suspends the offending engine for hours-to-days, showing up as "unavailable". Add docs/Dankclaw/SearXNG Providers.md covering: the suspension model, the two failure modes (CAPTCHA vs selector drift), engine config (settings.yml engines: list — duplicate google, timeout, retry_on_http_error, JSON feed), request tuning (outgoing block, UA rotation, suspended_times — correcting the old rate_limit/useragents blog myths), routing/proxies (per-engine proxies, dedicated 2nd Gluetun, dedicated IP), and verification (/json, /config, check.searx.space). Crosslink into SearXNG.md and index.md.
Server App Configs
The single repository for the two homelab servers: the Podman container stacks and the LLM inference fleet. One repo, one checkout per host, one deploy script.
2026-08-22: the former
vllmScriptsrepository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Deployment
See docs/Architecture/Deployment Flow.md
and docs/LLM/deployment.md. Run
./scripts/deploy.sh <dankclaw|dankserver> after pushing committed changes.
It pushes, pulls on the target, restarts the podman stack and the LLM
service, and checks both health endpoints.
Knowledge Base
The docs/ directory is an Obsidian vault. Start at
docs/index.md. The LLM fleet knowledge base lives at
docs/LLM/index.md.
Testing
Run ./tests/run.sh before every push. See
docs/Architecture/Testing Policy.md.
