valkey:

A Valkey DB can be connected by an URL, in section Valkey DB you will find a description to test your valkey connection in SearXNG.

url``$SEARXNG_VALKEY_URL : URL to connect valkey database. There are several ways to specify a database number:

```
valkey://[[username]:[password]]@localhost:6379/0
valkeys://[[username]:[password]]@localhost:6379/0
unix://[[username]:[password]]@/path/to/socket.sock?db=0
```

When using sockets, don’t forget to check the access rights on the socket:

```
ls -la /usr/local/searxng-valkey/run/valkey.sock
srwxrwx--- 1 searxng-valkey searxng-valkey ... /usr/local/searxng-valkey/run/valkey.sock
```

In this example read/write access is given to the *searxng-valkey* group. To
get access rights to valkey instance (the socket), your SearXNG (or even your
developer) account needs to be added to the *searxng-valkey* group.

Valkey Developer Notes

To set up a local Valkey DB, set the URL connector in your YAML setting:

valkey:
  url: valkey://localhost:6379/0

To install a local Valkey DB from package manager read Valkey-Installation or use:

$ ./utils/searxng.sh install valkey
## restart your SearXNG instance
