🐛 Settings not  operative + no search results

### Description

Im sorry if i did not get something basic correctly, but i have no idea why my instance has these basic problems with accessing search engines and using the config.lua

I did set up the docker-variant in several different versions, below the current one being as near as the installation instruction, created the 3 files and even made them accessible with chown an chmod 777 due to the problems i have

I can open the running instance but:
- Settings in the UI do not get stored and do not change the config.lua
- Settings in the config.lua do not get shown in the UI settings
- On searching there is a very long loading delay until the error screen comes up
- No search results are found and the container logs throw different dns and timeout errors
