searxng-docker

Create a new SearXNG instance in five minutes using Docker

What is included ?

Name Description Docker image Dockerfile
Caddy Reverse proxy (create a LetsEncrypt certificate automatically) caddy/caddy:2-alpine Dockerfile
Filtron Filtering reverse HTTP proxy, bot and abuse protection dalf/filtron:latest See asciimoo/filtron#4
SearXNG SearXNG by itself searxng/searxng:latest Dockerfile
Morty Privacy aware web content sanitizer proxy as a service. dalf/morty:latest Dockerfile

How to use it

cd /usr/local
git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng-docker.git
cd searxng-docker
  • Generate MORTY_KEY sed -i "s|ReplaceWithARealKey\!|$(openssl rand -base64 33)|g" .env
  • Edit the other settings in .env file according to your need
  • Check everything is working: ./start.sh,
  • cp searxng-docker.service.template searxng-docker.service
  • edit the content of WorkingDirectory in the searxng-docker.service file (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

Note on the image proxy feature

The SearXNG image proxy is activated by default using Morty.

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:;

Custom docker-compose.yaml

Do not modify docker-compose.yaml otherwise you won't be able to update easily from the git repository.

It is possible to the extend feature of docker-compose :

  • stop the service : systemctl stop searxng-docker.service
  • create a new docker-compose-extend.yaml, check with start.sh
  • update searxng-docker.service (see SEARXNG_DOCKERCOMPOSEFILE)
  • restart the service : systemctl restart searxng-docker.service

Multi Architecture Docker images

For now only the amd64 platform is supported.

How to update ?

Check the content of update.sh
