[BUG] pip upgrade to 0.9.3 results in Read-only file system error

[dave0003]

Describe the bug
After downloading new requirements, upgrading, and then upgrading whoogle-search with pip, the whoogle service won't start anymore, but gives a "Read-only file system error." Doing a fresh install of 0.9.3 gives similar results, with only a slightly different error.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/main/requirements.txt
2. pip install -r requirements.txt --upgrade
3. pip install whoogle-search --upgrade
4. (restart whoogle service, systemctl restart whoogle for me)

Deployment Method

• pip/pipx

Version of Whoogle Search

• Latest build from [source] (i.e. GitHub, Docker Hub, pip, etc)
• 0.9.3

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• N/A

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Additional context
After doing a pip upgrade, this is the error in syslog when the whoogle service tries to start.

: Traceback (most recent call last):

: whoogle.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

The "light-theme.172370c9.css" doesn't exist.

After doing a fresh pip install, this is the error in syslog when the whoogle service tries to start.

In this case, the whole "config" directory is missing.

Are you using a virtual environment when installing whoogle? I believe the read-only filesystem issue only happens when you're installing the package outside of a venv (not sure why previous versions hadn't thrown this error though). If the upgrade command was performed outside of the virtual environment, it would ignore that it was an "upgrade" and just install it regularly.

[dave0003]

I am using a virtual environment, but I am installing everything while inside the virtual environment.

For example:

python3 -m venv /home/david/whoogle
cd /home/david/whoogle
source bin/activate
pip install whoogle-search --upgrade

Hmm ok. I haven't been able to reproduce this on any of my machines yet, but I'll try to look into it more later.
