Basic installation
==================
Step by step installation with virtualenv. For Ubuntu, be sure to have enable
universe repository.
Install packages:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
.. code-block:: sh
$ sudo -H apt-get install -m \
git build-essential
libxslt-dev python3-dev python3-babel python3-venv \
zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
Install searx:
.. code:: sh
sudo -H useradd searx --system --disabled-password -d /usr/local/searx
sudo -H usermod -a -G shadow searx
cd /usr/local/searx
sudo -H git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx.git searx-src
sudo -H chown searx:searx -R /usr/local/searx
Install virtualenv:
.. code:: sh
sudo -H -u searx -i
(searx)$ python3 -m venv searx-pyenv
(searx)$ echo 'source ~/searx-pyenv/bin/activate' > ~/.profile
Exit the searx bash and restart a new to install the searx dependencies:
.. code:: sh
sudo -H -u searx -i
(searx)$ cd searx-src
(searx)$ ./manage.sh update_packages
Configuration
==============
.. code:: sh
sudo -H -u searx -i
(searx)$ cd searx-src
(searx)$ sed -i -e "s/ultrasecretkey/`openssl rand -hex 16`/g" searx/settings.yml
Edit searx/settings.yml if necessary.
Check
=====
Start searx:
.. code:: sh
sudo -H -u searx -i
(searx)$ cd searx-src
(searx)$ python3 searx/webapp.py
Go to http://localhost:8888
If everything works fine, disable the debug option in settings.yml:
.. code:: sh
sed -i -e "s/debug : True/debug : False/g" searx/settings.yml
At this point searx is not demonized ; uwsgi allows this. You can exit the
virtualenv and the searx user bash (enter exit command twice).
uwsgi
=====
Install packages:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
.. code-block:: bash
sudo -H apt-get install uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python3
Create the configuration file ``/etc/uwsgi/apps-available/searx.ini`` with this
content:
.. code:: ini
[uwsgi]
# uWSGI core
# ----------
#
# https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Options.html#uwsgi-core
# Who will run the code
uid = searx
gid = searx
# chdir to specified directory before apps loading
chdir = /usr/local/searx/searx-src/searx
# disable logging for privacy
disable-logging = true
# The right granted on the created socket
chmod-socket = 666
# Plugin to use and interpretor config
single-interpreter = true
# enable master process
master = true
# load apps in each worker instead of the master
lazy-apps = true
# load uWSGI plugins
plugin = python3,http
# By default the Python plugin does not initialize the GIL. This means your
# app-generated threads will not run. If you need threads, remember to enable
# them with enable-threads. Running uWSGI in multithreading mode (with the
# threads options) will automatically enable threading support. This *strange*
# default behaviour is for performance reasons.
enable-threads = true
# plugin: python
# --------------
#
# https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Options.html#plugin-python
# load a WSGI module
module = searx.webapp
# set PYTHONHOME/virtualenv
virtualenv = /usr/local/searx/searx-pyenv
# add directory (or glob) to pythonpath
pythonpath = /usr/local/searx/searx-src
# plugin http
# -----------
#
# https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Options.html#plugin-http
# Native HTTP support: https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/HTTP.html
http = 127.0.0.1:8888
Activate the uwsgi application and restart:
.. code:: sh
cd /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled
ln -s ../apps-available/searx.ini
/etc/init.d/uwsgi restart
How to update
=============
.. code:: sh
sudo -H -u searx -i
(searx)$ git stash
(searx)$ git pull origin master
(searx)$ git stash apply
(searx)$ ./manage.sh update_packages
Restart uwsgi:
.. tabs::
.. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
.. code:: sh
sudo -H systemctl restart uwsgi
Docker
======
Make sure you have installed Docker. For instance, you can deploy searx like this:
.. code:: sh
docker pull wonderfall/searx
docker run -d --name searx -p $PORT:8888 wonderfall/searx
Go to ``http://localhost:$PORT``.
See https://hub.docker.com/r/wonderfall/searx/ for more informations. It's also
possible to build searx from the embedded Dockerfile.
.. code:: sh
git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx.git
cd searx
docker build -t whatever/searx .
