Build your own PRIVATE search engine - Using SearXNG¶

Setup a server running Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 11

We was using Debian 11 in a Container hosted in Proxmox

Login as root and update.

apt install && sudo apt upgrade -y

Install Docker

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
sudo sh get-docker.sh

Install docker-compose

apt install docker-compose -y

Now we can move to the directory where we want to install Searx and using git
NOTE: if you don’t have git installed install it – apt install git

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

Verify that it copied correctly in to your current directory

ls

cd searxng-docker
