- :ref:`installation basic`
|
|
|
|
The :ref:`installation basic` is good enough for intranet usage and it is a
|
|
excellent illustration of *how a SearXNG instance is build up*. If you place your
|
|
instance public to the internet you should really consider to install a
|
|
:ref:`filtron reverse proxy <filtron.sh>` and for privacy a :ref:`result proxy
|
|
<morty.sh>` is mandatory.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, if you do not have any special preferences, its recommend to use the
|
|
:ref:`installation docker` or the `Installation scripts`_ from our :ref:`tooling
|
|
box <toolboxing>` as described below.

Installation scripts

====================
|
|
|
|
.. sidebar:: Update OS first!
|
|
|
|
To avoid unwanted side effects, update your OS before installing SearXNG.
|
|
|
|
The following will install a setup as shown in :ref:`architecture`. First you
|
|
need to get a clone. The clone is only needed for the installation procedure
|
|
and some maintenance tasks (alternatively you can create your own fork).
|
|
|
|
For the installation procedure, use a *sudoer* login to run the scripts. If you
|
|
install from ``root``, take into account that the scripts are creating a
|
|
``searx``, a ``filtron`` and a ``morty`` user. In the installation procedure
|
|
these new created users do need read access to the clone of searx, which is not
|
|
the case if you clone into a folder below ``/root``.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ cd ~/Downloads
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searxng
|
|
$ cd searxng
|
|
|
|
.. sidebar:: further read
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`toolboxing`
|
|
- :ref:`update searxng`
|
|
- :ref:`inspect searxng`
|
|
|
|
**Install** :ref:`SearXNG service <searx.sh>`
|
|
|
|
This installs SearXNG as described in :ref:`installation basic`.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh install all
|
|
|
|
**Install** :ref:`filtron reverse proxy <filtron.sh>`
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh install all
|
|
|
|
**Install** :ref:`result proxy <morty.sh>`
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh install all
|
|
|
|
If all services are running fine, you can add it to your HTTP server:
|
|
|
|
**Install** HTTP
|
|
|
|
- :ref:`installation apache`
|
|
- :ref:`installation nginx`
|
|
|
|
**Install** :ref:`external plugins <dev plugin>`
|
|
|
|
Use SearXNG's ``shell`` to install external plugins. In the example below we
|
|
install the SearXNG plugins from **The Green Web Foundation** `[ref]
|
|
<https://www.thegreenwebfoundation.org/news/searching-the-green-web-with-searx/>`__:
|
|
|
|
.. code:: bash
|
|
|
|
$ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh shell
|
|
// exit with [CTRL-D]
|
|
(searx-pyenv) searx@ryzen:~$ pip install git+https://github.com/return42/tgwf-searx-plugins
|
|
|
|
In the :ref:`settings.yml` activate the ``plugins:`` section and add module
|
|
``only_show_green_results`` from tgwf-searx-plugins.
|
|
|
|
.. code:: yaml
|
|
|
|
plugins:
|
|
- only_show_green_results
|

|
|
.. tip::
|
|
|
|
About script's installation options have a look at chapter :ref:`toolboxing
|
|
setup`. How to brand your instance see chapter :ref:`settings global`. To
|
|
*stash* your instance's setup, `git stash`_ your clone's :origin:`.config.sh`
|
|
file .
