Today I decided to install SearxNG, just to for $h1ts and giggles, and to avoid a little bit of tracking by those creeps at Google and Bing.

I started wit a clean Debian 12 LXC container on my Proxmox server and used the installation script route. I just needed to:

Create a non-root user . DO NOT call this user searxng, this is the user the install script creates for you, if it already exists, the script will fail
Add this user to the the sudo group
Install sudo, git and curl
Clone the install repo
Run the install script
Run the nginx setup script

That's it. The search page will be available in http:///searxng

They are pretty good, you get a mix of bing, duck, and google results that are ranked. You can check out a public instance at https://SearX.space
