Basic installation
==================
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Step by step installation for Debian/Ubuntu with virtualenv. For Ubuntu, be sure
to have enable universe repository.
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Install packages:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
$ sudo -H apt-get install \
git build-essential libxslt-dev \
python-dev python-virtualenv python-babel \
zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Install searx:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
cd /usr/local
sudo -H git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx.git
sudo -H useradd searx -d /usr/local/searx
sudo -H chown searx:searx -R /usr/local/searx
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Install dependencies in a virtualenv:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
cd /usr/local/searx
sudo -H -u searx -i
.. code:: sh
(searx)$ virtualenv searx-ve
(searx)$ . ./searx-ve/bin/activate
(searx)$ ./manage.sh update_packages
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Configuration
==============
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sed -i -e "s/ultrasecretkey/`openssl rand -hex 16`/g" searx/settings.yml
Edit searx/settings.yml if necessary.
Check
=====
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Start searx:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
python searx/webapp.py
Go to http://localhost:8888
If everything works fine, disable the debug option in settings.yml:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sed -i -e "s/debug : True/debug : False/g" searx/settings.yml
At this point searx is not demonized ; uwsgi allows this.
You can exit the virtualenv and the searx user bash (enter exit command
twice).
uwsgi
=====
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Install packages:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H apt-get install \
uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Create the configuration file ``/etc/uwsgi/apps-available/searx.ini`` with this
content:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: ini
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
[uwsgi]
# Who will run the code
uid = searx
gid = searx
# disable logging for privacy
disable-logging = true
# Number of workers (usually CPU count)
workers = 4
# The right granted on the created socket
chmod-socket = 666
# Plugin to use and interpretor config
single-interpreter = true
master = true
plugin = python
lazy-apps = true
enable-threads = true
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
# Module to import
module = searx.webapp
# Virtualenv and python path
virtualenv = /usr/local/searx/searx-ve/
pythonpath = /usr/local/searx/
chdir = /usr/local/searx/searx/
Activate the uwsgi application and restart:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
cd /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled
ln -s ../apps-available/searx.ini
/etc/init.d/uwsgi restart
Web server
==========
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
with nginx
----------
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
If nginx is not installed (uwsgi will not work with the package
nginx-light):
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H apt-get install nginx
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Hosted at /
~~~~~~~~~~~
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Create the configuration file ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/searx`` with this
content:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: nginx
server {
listen 80;
server_name searx.example.com;
root /usr/local/searx;
location / {
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket;
}
}
2018-10-21 11:36:11 +02:00
Create a symlink to sites-enabled:
2018-10-21 11:42:00 +02:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/searx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/searx
2018-10-21 11:36:11 +02:00
Restart service:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H service nginx restart
sudo -H service uwsgi restart
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
from subdirectory URL (/searx)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Add this configuration in the server config file
``/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default``:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: nginx
location = /searx { rewrite ^ /searx/; }
location /searx {
try_files $uri @searx;
}
location @searx {
uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /searx;
include uwsgi_params;
uwsgi_modifier1 30;
uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket;
}
2016-04-21 13:16:18 +02:00
**OR** using reverse proxy (Please, note that reverse proxy advised to be used
in case of single-user or low-traffic instances.)
2016-04-21 14:30:17 +02:00
.. code:: nginx
location /searx {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Script-Name /searx;
proxy_buffering off;
}
Enable ``base_url`` in ``searx/settings.yml``
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: yaml
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
base_url : http://your.domain.tld/searx/
Restart service:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H service nginx restart
sudo -H service uwsgi restart
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
disable logs
^^^^^^^^^^^^
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
for better privacy you can disable nginx logs about searx.
how to proceed: below ``uwsgi_pass`` in ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/default``
add:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: nginx
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
access_log /dev/null;
error_log /dev/null;
Restart service:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H service nginx restart
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
with apache
-----------
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Add wsgi mod:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H apt-get install libapache2-mod-uwsgi
sudo -H a2enmod uwsgi
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Add this configuration in the file ``/etc/apache2/apache2.conf``:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: apache
<Location />
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
SetHandler uwsgi-handler
uWSGISocket /run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket
</Location>
Note that if your instance of searx is not at the root, you should change
``<Location />`` by the location of your instance, like ``<Location /searx>``.
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Restart Apache:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
disable logs
~~~~~~~~~~~~
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
For better privacy you can disable Apache logs.
.. warning::
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
You can only disable logs for the whole (virtual) server not for a specific
path.
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
Go back to ``/etc/apache2/apache2.conf`` and above ``<Location />`` add:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: apache
CustomLog /dev/null combined
Restart Apache:
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
.. code:: sh
sudo -H /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00
How to update
=============
2015-11-17 23:13:30 +01:00

docker pull wonderfall/searx
docker run -d --name searx -p $PORT:8888 wonderfall/searx
Go to ``http://localhost:$PORT``.
See https://hub.docker.com/r/wonderfall/searx/ for more informations. It's also
possible to build searx from the embedded Dockerfile.
.. code:: sh
git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx.git
cd searx
docker build -t whatever/searx .
