[SOLVED] installing whoogle without docker

General Discussion

Hello all!
I installing whoogle without docker but getting issue.
Probably something to do with the permissions or/and venv.

Why not asking whoogle support on this?

Probably Python module cssutils has not been installed correctly.

because it’s not a whoogle problem

/opt/whoogle-search# ./run
Running on http://0.0.0.0:5000

no. proof above :point_up_2:

in addition

/opt/whoogle-search# pip check
No broken requirements found.

ok it’s a problem how you create the whoogle.service configuration.

I just did a test, installed whoogle-search via pip method and created a very simple service. After reboot, service is working without issue.

Did you install via pip directly into the system? That’s not good. I have no problems with this installation either. But it’s bad practice. It’s not safe.

I need to install so that the service works without privileges, as I did above.

By the way, don’t not need the installation method. It’s already there. I need help in solving the problem with permissions or venv. Nothing else

thx

If you understand PKGBUILDS from archlinux, here is an example of how it should be installed:
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=whoogle-git

by the same principle some software are installed in dietpi as well

It’s not a DietPi problem either. It’s the way you setup the systemd service because you missed the activate the Python3 venv.

I did the resource for you now on whoogle-search github. [BUG] systemd launch script does not work · Issue #1063 · benbusby/whoogle-search · GitHub

For me it is running as user whoogle

root@DietPi:~# ps -ef | grep whoogle
whoogle     2056       1  0 22:56 ?        00:00:00 /opt/whoogle/whoogle-search/venv/bin/python3 -um app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8786
root@DietPi:~#

root@DietPi:~# ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN
tcp   LISTEN 0      128          0.0.0.0:22        0.0.0.0:*    users:(("sshd",pid=427,fd=3))
tcp   LISTEN 0      1024       127.0.0.1:8786      0.0.0.0:*    users:(("python3",pid=2056,fd=6))
tcp   LISTEN 0      128             [::]:22           [::]:*    users:(("sshd",pid=427,fd=4))

it’s a error in unit systemd.

wrong:

ExecStart=/opt/whoogle-search/venv/bin/python -um app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5000

properly:

ExecStart=python3 -um app --host 127.0.0.1 --port 5000

and it’s working fine now.
