Update SearXNG, Gluetun, and Valkey to describe the quadlet units instead of compose: searxng sets Network=gluetun.container, the units install to ~/.config/containers/systemd/, and scripts/deploy-searxng-quadlet.sh deploys them. Add a Boot Persistence section to the Stack doc. Correct the Gluetun tunnel check (the :8000 server 404s; verify tun0 instead) and note the pinned 10.89.2.0/24 subnet.

# Valkey
|
|
|
|
Valkey is the cache and limiter store for SearXNG. It replaces Redis as the default in the official SearXNG deployment.

| Role | SearXNG limiter + result cache |

|
## Why Valkey
|
|
|
|
The official SearXNG docker-compose ships a `searxng-valkey` container. Valkey is the Redis fork under the Linux Foundation umbrella; the SearXNG project moved to it as the default cache.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
The valkey unit is `searxng-valkey.container` (see [[SearXNG]] for the trio). It joins the searxng network and is reachable by the name `searxng-valkey` (container name) and the alias `valkey`:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
[Container]
|
|
ContainerName=searxng-valkey
|
|
Network=searxng.network
|
|
NetworkAlias=valkey
|
|
Image=docker.io/valkey/valkey:9-alpine
|
|
Volume=/opt/searxng/valkey:/data
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
SearXNG connects to it via `settings.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
valkey:
|
|
url: "valkey://searxng-valkey:6379/0"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
It sets `WantedBy=default.target`. User linger is on, so it starts at boot.
|
|
|
|
## Volumes
|
|
|
|
| Container path | Host path (convention) |
|
|
|----------------|------------------------|
|
|
| `/data` | `/opt/searxng/valkey` |
|
|
|
|
## Gotchas
|
|
|
|
- The limiter relies on Valkey; without it SearXNG falls back to in-memory state and rate limiting is per-restart.
|
|
- Keep Valkey on the same podman network as SearXNG.
