Hello, I want to install searxng without using Docker on my homeserver so I basically run the install script from the official documentation. Already tried to use the automatic script for setting up apache and it basically worked by exposing /searxng. But I would like to do something simpler as I like that apache would only expose localhost:80 (for example) to use a reverse proxy later to point to it. Just wondering how this configuration work and how I could do something that applicates to my use case :

# -*- coding: utf-8; mode: apache -*-

LoadModule ssl_module           /mod_ssl.so
LoadModule headers_module       /mod_headers.so
LoadModule proxy_module         /mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_uwsgi_module   /mod_proxy_uwsgi.so
# LoadModule setenvif_module      /mod_setenvif.so
#
# SetEnvIf Request_URI /searxng dontlog
# CustomLog /dev/null combined env=dontlog

<Location /searxng>

    Require all granted
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    # Allow from fd00::/8 192.168.0.0/16 fe80::/10 127.0.0.0/8 ::1
    Allow from all

    # add the trailing slash
    RedirectMatch  308 /searxng$ /searxng/

    ProxyPreserveHost On
    ProxyPass unix:/usr/local/searxng/run/socket|uwsgi://uwsgi-uds-searxng/

    # see flaskfix.py
    RequestHeader set X-Scheme %{REQUEST_SCHEME}s
    RequestHeader set X-Script-Name /searxng

    # see limiter.py
    RequestHeader set X-Real-IP %{REMOTE_ADDR}s
    RequestHeader append X-Forwarded-For %{REMOTE_ADDR}s

</Location>

# uWSGI serves the static files and in settings.yml we use::
#
#   ui:
#     static_use_hash: true
#
# Alias /searxng/static/ /usr/local/searxng/searxng-src/searx/static/

Any help here? Thank you very much

From somebody who prefer to run stuff not in containers... Don't bother and run SearXNG in container. I suggest rootless podman instead of docker.

See my notes/guide here https://wiki.gardiol.org/doku.php?id=services%3Asearxng
