How to setup result proxy

• morty.sh

By default SearXNG can only act as an image proxy for result images, but it is possible to proxify all the result URLs with an external service, morty.

To use this feature, morty has to be installed and activated in SearXNG's settings.yml. Add the following snippet to your settings.yml and restart searx:

result_proxy:
    url : http://127.0.0.1:3000/
    key : !!binary "insert_your_morty_proxy_key_here"

Note that the example above (http://127.0.0.1:3000) is only for single-user instances without a HTTP proxy. If your morty service is public, the url is the address of the reverse proxy (e.g https://example.org/morty).

For more information about result proxy have a look at "SearXNG via filtron plus morty" in the nginx <nginx searxng via filtron plus morty> and apache <apache searxng via filtron plus morty> sections.
