It would be great to add the Searx admin interface to the Freedombox:

> One of the biggest advantages of searx is being extremely customizable. But at first it can be daunting to newcomers. A barrier of taking advantage of this feature is our ugly settings file which is sometimes hard to understand and edit.  
> To make self-hosting searx more accessible a new tool is introduced, called `searx-admin` . It is a web application which is capable of managing your instance and manipulating its settings via a web UI. It aims to replace editing of `settings.yml` for less experienced administrators or people who prefer graphical admin interfaces.
