A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

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
