searx-instances VS searxng-docker

I still recommend a Searx instance over google. Independently run search engines using an open-source software that aggregate searches over multiple engines, including Google, Bing, Yahoo, Wikipedia, DDG, Ecosia, and many many more.

This kind of thing is why I use searx

I recommend hopping on public SearxNG instances. https://searx.space/

This was my default search in Safari, the "new tab opens with" way.

Now it shows "Cloud provider terminated all my servers, service is down for the moment. Working on it. Sorry. Please use other instances on https://searx.space"

Assuming you don't publicly list this instance on searx.space, you should be fine with a small vps. I don't see this thing having more than a dozen concurrent users so I wouldn't bother with a vps larger than 2gb of ram and 2 cpu . This should cost less than 10-20 bucks a month on vultr or digitalocean. Then you just need a domain, which can be as little as like 8 bucks a year depends on where you get it. So I'd estimate it would cost 80-120 a year to run.

If anyone is interested in getting around search related privacy issues, look into a public SearXNG instance. It doesn't mitigate all privacy concerns but does a lot to move in that direction.

Try SearXNG (https://searx.space/)

If you want to try it out before creating your own, check out https://searx.space/

i heard of Docker and its Code but no idea if thats needed to selfhost.

It is pretty much explained in the official documentation and here on GitHub. You install docker, start a container and go to the webpage (example: http://localhost:8080). Podman is the same (there is Podman Desktop now, similar to fancy docker gui)

But the win combo to me is Flame forwarding to linkding's tags .. a bookmark linking to linkding's tag .. MAGIC .. Custom search providers with Searxng .. configure like this "http://192.168.13.12:8881/?q=" .. OBVIOUSLY change the example IP with your searxng IP ..

I looked what that caddy does. The repo says that it creates the https connection and if it's only that I don't need it. Here is the source code.

I am using the docker-compose from https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker/blob/master/docker-compose.yaml. Modified it to use an external macvlan-network. Creating a stack in portainer using the below compose gives me "Bind mount failed: '/data/compose/56/searxng' does not exists". Could use some help as this is beyond me at this time.

Well there is an open issue about it: https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker/issues/66

On my instance I'm using SearxNG Via docker a fork of the OG Searx : https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker
