Installation Script

Update the OS first!

To avoid unwanted side effects, update your OS before installing SearXNG.

The following will install a setup as shown in the reference architecture <arch public>. First you need to get a clone of the repository. The clone is only needed for the installation procedure and some maintenance tasks.

  • toolboxing

Jump to a folder that is readable by others and start to clone SearXNG, alternatively you can create your own fork and clone from there.

$ cd ~/Downloads
$ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searxng
$ cd searxng

  • inspect searxng

To install a SearXNG reference setup <use_default_settings.yml> including a uWSGI setup <architecture uWSGI> as described in the installation basic and in the searxng uwsgi section type:

$ sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh install all

Attention

For the installation procedure, use a sudoer login to run the scripts. If you install from root, take into account that the scripts are creating a searxng user. In the installation procedure this new created user does need read access to the cloned SearXNG repository, which is not the case if you clone it into a folder below /root!

  • update searxng

When all services are installed and running fine, you can add SearXNG to your HTTP server. We do not have any preferences for the HTTP server, you can use whatever you prefer.

We use caddy in our docker image <installation docker> and we have implemented installation procedures for:

  • installation nginx
  • installation apache
