SearxNG on my laptop

+

05-11-2023

+

To keep my searches private, I've installed SearxNG on the T430.

+

Here's how I did it: My OS is Arch linux.

+ 
+$ cd ~/Downloads 
+$ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searxng 
+$ cd searxng sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh install all 
+
+

+ I use Nginx as a web server on my laptop, so I added the following in + /etc/nginx/sites-available/localhost +

+ 
+location /searxng {
+  uwsgi_pass unix:///usr/local/searxng/run/socket;
+  include uwsgi_params;
+  uwsgi_param    HTTP_HOST             $host;
+  uwsgi_param    HTTP_CONNECTION       $http_connection;
+
+  # see flaskfix.py
+  uwsgi_param    HTTP_X_SCHEME         $scheme;
+  uwsgi_param    HTTP_X_SCRIPT_NAME    /searxng;
+  # see limiter.py 
+  uwsgi_param    HTTP_X_REAL_IP      $remote_addr;
+  uwsgi_param    HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+}
+
+

Navigate to localhost/searxng and there's our search engine.

+

+ In order to use it as the default search engine in Firefox, right click on + the url and select searxng as a search engine. +

+

Then in settings set searxng as the default search engine.
