searx-docker

Create a new searx instance in five minutes using Docker ( See https://github.com/asciimoo/searx/issues/1561 )

Do not use it for now : this is a work in progress and there is no antibot feature.

What is included ?

• Caddy as a reverse proxy (create a LetsEncrypt certificate automaticaly)
• filtron: See #4 to build the docker image.
• searx: See #1629 to build the docker image.
• morty: clone the project, then "make build" to create the docker image

How to use it

• Install docker
• Install docker-compose
• Get searx-docker

cd /usr/local
git clone https://github.com/searx/searx-docker.git
cd searx-docker

• Edit the .env file according to your need
• Check everything is working: ./start.sh,
• cp searx-docker.service.template searx-docker.service
• edit the content of WorkingDirectory in the searx-docker.service file (only if the installation path is different from /usr/local/searx-docker)
• Install the systemd unit :

systemctl enable $(pwd)/searx-docker.service
systemctl start searx-docker.service

Custom docker-compose.yaml

Do not modify docker-compose.yaml otherwise you won't be able to update easily from the git repository.

It is possible to the extend feature of docker-compose :

• stop the service : systemctl stop searx-docker.service
• create a new docker-compose-extend.yaml, check with start.sh
• update searx-docker.service (see SEARX_DOCKERCOMPOSEFILE)
• restart the servie : systemctl restart searx-docker.service

How to update ?

• Check the content of update.sh
