Features include: Self-hosted No user tracking No user profiling About 70 supported search engines Easy integration with any search engine Cookies are not used by default Secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS/SSL) Installation Install the required packages. apt install git nginx-extras -y Open http and https ports. iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT iptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT netfilter-persistent save ufw allow 80 ufw allow 443 First we will create a user for SearX. useradd -mr -d "/usr/local/searxng" -c 'Privacy-respecting metasearch engine' -s /bin/bash searxng Although the auto-install script below we create this user itself, we can go ahead and make it to give the cloned repository the correct permissions. Now we clone the SearXNG Repository into the searx user’s home. git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng /usr/local/searxng/searxng-src cd /usr/local/searxng/searxng-src Installing SearXNG. ./utils/searxng.sh install all Configure Nginx Create a new file /etc/nginx/sites-available/searxng.conf and add the following: server { # Listens on http listen 80 ; listen [::]:80 ; # Your server name server_name searx. example.org ; # If you want to log user activity, comment these access_log /dev/null ; error_log /dev/null ; # X-Frame-Options (XFO) header set to DENY add_header X-Frame-Options "DENY" ; # HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) header add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000 ; includeSubDomains" ; # Content Security Policy (CSP) add_header Content-Security-Policy "default-src 'self' ; " ; location / { uwsgi_pass unix:///usr/local/searxng/run/socket ; include uwsgi_params ; uwsgi_param HTTP_HOST $host; uwsgi_param HTTP_CONNECTION $http_connection; # see flaskfix.py uwsgi_param HTTP_X_SCHEME $scheme; uwsgi_param HTTP_X_SCRIPT_NAME /searxng ; # see limiter.py uwsgi_param HTTP_X_REAL_IP $remote_addr; uwsgi_param HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; } Now create a symbolic link to enable this site. ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/searxng.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/searxng.conf Restart Nginx and SearXNG. systemctl restart nginx service uwsgi restart searxng Configure HTTPS with Certbot Install certbot. apt install python3-certbot-nginx Install a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate to Nginx and optionally let it configure HTTPS for you.
