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.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I am new to this, but I have been hosting Searxng via docker for a while now and have been accessing it over the internet directly using an open port. Now I have a domain (assume search.abc.xyz) and I have tried multiple things using nginx and traefik to get it working along with cloudflare. So far nothing has helped and I am tired on banging my head. Can anybody steer me in the right path or share the right tutorial for this. Any help would be appreciated.

Solution: Hertzner was blocking port 80 and port 443 by default. So certbot was actually failing.

Also incase anybody wants to how to set it up using Nginx use this link : https://hrant.am/post/searxng_deployment/ . It's a good start.

What did you try and what was the error?

Okay I fixed the issue. I'm an idiot. Hertzner was blocking port 80 and port 443 by default.
