.. _installation basic:
=========================
Step by step installation
=========================
.. contents:: Contents
:depth: 2
:local:
:backlinks: entry
In this section we show the setup of a SearXNG instance that will be installed
by the :ref:`installation scripts`.
.. _install packages:
Install packages
================
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searxng.rst
:start-after: START distro-packages
:end-before: END distro-packages
.. hint::
This installs also the packages needed by :ref:`searxng uwsgi`
.. _create searxng user:
Create user
===========
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searxng.rst
:start-after: START create user
:end-before: END create user
.. _searxng-src:
Install SearXNG & dependencies
==============================
Start a interactive shell from new created user and clone SearXNG:
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searxng.rst
:start-after: START clone searxng
:end-before: END clone searxng
In the same shell create *virtualenv*:
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searxng.rst
:start-after: START create virtualenv
:end-before: END create virtualenv
To install searx's dependencies, exit the SearXNG *bash* session you opened above
and restart a new. Before install, first check if your *virtualenv* was sourced
from the login (*~/.profile*):
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searxng.rst
:start-after: START manage.sh update_packages
:end-before: END manage.sh update_packages
.. tip::

Open a second terminal for the configuration tasks and leave the ``(searx)$``
terminal open for the tasks below.
.. _use_default_settings.yml:
Configuration
=============
.. sidebar:: ``use_default_settings: True``
- :ref:`settings global`
- :ref:`settings location`
- :ref:`settings use_default_settings`
- :origin:`/etc/searxng/settings.yml <utils/templates/etc/searxng/settings.yml>`
To create a initial ``/etc/searxng/settings.yml`` we recommend to start with a
copy of the file :origin:`utils/templates/etc/searxng/settings.yml`. This setup
:ref:`use default settings <settings use_default_settings>` from
:origin:`searx/settings.yml` and is shown in the tab *"Use default settings"*
below. This setup:
- enables :ref:`limiter <limiter>` to protect against bots
- enables :ref:`image proxy <image_proxy>` for better privacy
- enables :ref:`cache busting <static_use_hash>` to save bandwith
Modify the ``/etc/searxng/settings.yml`` to your needs:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Use default settings
.. literalinclude:: ../../utils/templates/etc/searxng/settings.yml
:language: yaml
:end-before: # hostname_replace:
To see the entire file jump to :origin:`utils/templates/etc/searxng/settings.yml`
.. group-tab:: searx/settings.yml
.. literalinclude:: ../../searx/settings.yml
:language: yaml
:end-before: # hostname_replace:
To see the entire file jump to :origin:`searx/settings.yml`
For a *minimal setup* you need to set ``server:secret_key``.
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searxng.rst
:start-after: START searxng config
:end-before: END searxng config
Check
=====
To check your SearXNG setup, optional enable debugging and start the *webapp*.
2021-10-02 15:18:05 +00:00
SearXNG looks at the exported environment ``$SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH`` for a
configuration file.
.. kernel-include:: $DOCS_BUILD/includes/searxng.rst
:start-after: START check searxng installation
:end-before: END check searxng installation
If everything works fine, hit ``[CTRL-C]`` to stop the *webapp* and disable the
debug option in ``settings.yml``. You can now exit SearXNG user bash (enter exit
command twice). At this point SearXNG is not demonized; uwsgi allows this.
