Selfhosted

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.

I followed the steps laid out in this guide and have a docker container for all services needed up and running, with the searxng container running on port 8080. I, however, am not sure how to actually access the search engine. I tried going to the server address in my web browser, including the port, but nothing shows up. I have another container running pihole, so i know i can access other containers web interfaces. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Looking at the compose and .env file you have to just call the hostname of your machine on port 80:

SEARXNG_HOSTNAME=${SEARXNG_HOSTNAME:-http://localhost:80}

Since that is probably already taken you might have caddie not starting properly
