-There are multiple installation approaches possible. You can either go with containers or bare-metal. While i usually recoment bare-metal, this time going the podman way is actually recomended because the bare-metal approach requires running a root install script, which is **not** a good idea, or read it and decompose enough to run the single commands by hand, which would be annoying and not too much fun because the install script is complex and well written.+There are multiple installation approaches possible. You can either go with containers or bare-metal. While i usually recommend bare-metal, this time going the podman way is actually preferable because the bare-metal approach requires running a root install script, which is **not** a good idea, or read it and decompose enough to run the single commands by hand, which would be annoying and not too much fun since the install script is complex and not well written.

-To start it, and set it up on boot, as usual add the following lines to your **/etc/local.d/80-containers.start**: 
-<code> 
-podmnan network create searxng 
-su - searxng -c "podman compose up -d" 
-</code> 
  
-and to the **/etc/local.d/80-containers.stop**:+===== Reverse Proxy ===== 
 + 
 +You can run SearXNG both as a subdomain or a subpath. I prefer the first one because it make it easier to integrate as Firefox default search engine. 
 + 
 +I assume the SearXNG will be reachable as **https://search.mydomain.com**. 
 + 
 +Following [[https://docs.searxng.org/admin/installation-nginx.html#installation-nginx|this page]] create a NGINX config file called **/etc/nginx/com.mydomain/search/search.conf** like this: 
 +<file - search.conf> 
 +server { 
 +        server_name search.mydomain.com; 
 +        listen 443 ssl;  
 +        listen 8443 ssl;  
 +        http2 on; 
 + 
 +        access_log /var/log/nginx/search.mydomain.com_access_log main; 
 +        error_log /var/log/nginx/search.mydomain.com_error_log info; 
 + 
 +        location / { 
 + 
 +            proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8083/; 
 + 
 +            proxy_set_header   Host             $host; 
 +            proxy_set_header   Connection       $http_connection; 
 + 
 +            # see flaskfix.py 
 +            proxy_set_header   X-Scheme         $scheme; 
 +            proxy_set_header   X-Script-Name    /searxng/; 
 + 
 +            # see limiter.py 
 +            proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr; 
 +            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; 
 + 
 +            access_log /dev/null; 
 +            error_log  /dev/null; 
 +        } 
 +} 
 +</file> 
 + 
 +and add it to your NGINX configuration. See [[selfhost:nginx|The Reverse Proxy concept]] for more details. 
 + 
 +SSO can be added using the **basic** endpoint in Authelia or NGINX PAM Auth. 
 + 
 +===== Add to firefox ===== 
 + 
 +Navigate your firefox to **https://search.mydomain.com**, then right-click on address bar and select the last icon: add SearXNG as search engine. If the option is missing, you have a different version of Firefox, check online how to do such a thing.  
 + 
 +===== Autostart ===== 
 + 
 +To start it, and set it up on boot, as usual follow my indications [[gentoo:containers|Using Containers on Gentoo]], so link the **user-containers** init script:
 <code> <code>
-su - searxng -c "podman composedown"+ln -s /etc/init.d/user-containers /etc/init.d/user-containers.searxng
 </code> </code>
  
-You can start it now by running the above command in the start file.+and create the following config file: 
 +<file - /etc/conf.d/user-containers.searxng> 
 +USER=searxng 
 +DESCRIPTION="The search engine" 
 +</file>
  
-===== Reverse Proxy =====+Add the service to the default runlevel and start it now: 
 +<code bash> 
 +rc-update add user-containers.searxng default 
 +rc-service user-containers.searxng start 
 +</code>
