How to use it
- Install docker
- Install docker-compose (be sure that docker-compose version is at least 1.9.0)
- Get searxng-docker
cd /usr/local git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker.git cd searxng-docker
- Edit the .env file to set the hostname and an email
- Generate the secret key
sed -i "s|ultrasecretkey|$(openssl rand -hex 32)|g" searxng/settings.yml
- Edit the searxng/settings.yml file according to your need
- Check everything is working:
docker-compose up
- Run SearXNG in the background:
docker-compose up -d
How to access the logs
To access the logs from all the containers use: docker-compose logs -f
.
To access the logs of one specific container:
- Caddy:
docker-compose logs -f caddy
- SearXNG:
docker-compose logs -f searxng
- Redis:
docker-compose logs -f redis
Start SearXNG with systemd
You can skip this step if you don't use systemd.
cp searxng-docker.service.template searxng-docker.service
- edit the content of
WorkingDirectory
in thesearxng-docker.service
file (only if the installation path is different from /usr/local/searxng-docker) - Install the systemd unit:
systemctl enable $(pwd)/searxng-docker.service systemctl start searxng-docker.service
Note on the image proxy feature
The SearXNG image proxy is activated by default.
The default Content-Security-Policy allow the browser to access to ${SEARXNG_HOSTNAME}
and https://*.tile.openstreetmap.org;
.
If some users wants to disable the image proxy, you have to modify ./Caddyfile. Replace the img-src 'self' data: https://*.tile.openstreetmap.org;
by img-src * data:;
.
