Hi Cizinec,

It’s always wise to lean toward some privacy no? Well, I’m always a bit watching for this or that in order to enhance my level of privacy (or loose my time, should you belong to the pessimist bandwagon)…

Currently, my main search engine is self hosted, it’s called SearXNG. In whole honesty, it’s smashing!!! SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from more than 70 search services. Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Have a check for yourself here:
https://github.com/searxng/searxng
https://docs.searxng.org/index.html

Here is what I did after having a Debian 12 Container ready for my typo’s:

as user = root:

useradd --shell /bin/bash --home-dir "/home/sudoman" sudoman
passwd sudoman
usermod -aG sudo sudoman
apt update && apt upgrade
apt install nano sudo mc git curl

as user = sudoman:

cd /home/sudoman
git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git searxng
cd searxng

sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh install all
sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh install nginx

And there you go:

Obviously and depending on where you’ve deployed your own instance, you shall be free to route all it’s traffic over any wanted/available overlays… Beautiful ain’t it? Happy safe searches…

So longue,
Obuno
