Create a new SearXNG instance in five minutes using Docker
| Name | Description | Docker image | Dockerfile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Caddy | Reverse proxy (create a LetsEncrypt certificate automatically) | caddy/caddy:2-alpine | Dockerfile |
| SearXNG | SearXNG by itself | searxng/searxng:latest | Dockerfile |
| Redis | In-memory database | redis:alpine | Dockerfile-alpine.template |
- 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
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
You can skip this step if you don't use systemd.
cp searxng-docker.service.template searxng-docker.service- edit the content of
WorkingDirectoryin thesearxng-docker.servicefile (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
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:;.
Supported architecture:
- amd64
- arm64
- arm/v7
To update the SearXNG stack:
docker-compose pull
docker-compose down
