Installation
============
-.. contents::
- :depth: 3
+*You're spoilt for choice*, choose your preferred method of installation.
-Basic installation
-==================
+- :ref:`installation docker`
+- :ref:`installation scripts`
+- :ref:`installation basic`
-Step by step installation for Debian/Ubuntu with virtualenv. For Ubuntu, be sure
-to have enable universe repository.
+The :ref:`installation basic` is good enough for intranet usage and it is a
+excellent illustration of *how a searx 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.
-Install packages:
+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.
-.. code:: sh
+.. _installation scripts:
- $ sudo -H apt-get install \
- git build-essential libxslt-dev \
- python-dev python-virtualenv python-babel \
- zlib1g-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev
+Installation scripts
+====================
-Install searx:
+.. sidebar:: Update OS first!
-.. code:: sh
+ To avoid unwanted side effects, update your OS before installing searx.
- cd /usr/local
- sudo -H git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx.git
- sudo -H useradd searx -d /usr/local/searx
- sudo -H chown searx:searx -R /usr/local/searx
+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).
-Install dependencies in a virtualenv:
+.. code:: bash
-.. code:: sh
+ $ cd ~/Downloads
+ $ git clone https://github.com/asciimoo/searx searx
+ $ cd searx
- cd /usr/local/searx
- sudo -H -u searx -i
+**Install** :ref:`searx service <searx.sh>`
-.. code:: sh
+This installs searx as described in :ref:`installation basic`.
- (searx)$ virtualenv searx-ve
- (searx)$ . ./searx-ve/bin/activate
- (searx)$ ./manage.sh update_packages
+.. code:: bash
-Configuration
-==============
+ $ sudo -H ./utils/searx.sh install all
-.. code:: sh
+**Install** :ref:`filtron reverse proxy <filtron.sh>`
- sed -i -e "s/ultrasecretkey/`openssl rand -hex 16`/g" searx/settings.yml
+.. code:: bash
-Edit searx/settings.yml if necessary.
+ $ sudo -H ./utils/filtron.sh install all
-Check
-=====
+**Install** :ref:`result proxy <morty.sh>`
-Start searx:
+.. code:: bash
-.. code:: sh
+ $ sudo -H ./utils/morty.sh install all
- python searx/webapp.py
+If all services are running fine, you can add it to your HTTP server:
-Go to http://localhost:8888
+- :ref:`installation apache`
+- :ref:`installation nginx`
-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:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H apt-get install \
- uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python
-
-Create the configuration file ``/etc/uwsgi/apps-available/searx.ini`` with this
-content:
-
-.. code:: ini
-
- [uwsgi]
- # Who will run the code
- uid = searx
- gid = searx
-
- # disable logging for privacy
- disable-logging = true
-
- # Number of workers (usually CPU count)
- workers = 4
-
- # The right granted on the created socket
- chmod-socket = 666
-
- # Plugin to use and interpretor config
- single-interpreter = true
- master = true
- plugin = python
- lazy-apps = true
- enable-threads = true
-
- # Module to import
- module = searx.webapp
-
- # Support running the module from a webserver subdirectory.
- route-run = fixpathinfo:
-
- # Virtualenv and python path
- virtualenv = /usr/local/searx/searx-ve/
- pythonpath = /usr/local/searx/
- chdir = /usr/local/searx/searx/
-
-Activate the uwsgi application and restart:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- cd /etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled
- ln -s ../apps-available/searx.ini
- /etc/init.d/uwsgi restart
-
-Web server
-==========
-
-with nginx
-----------
-
-If nginx is not installed (uwsgi will not work with the package
-nginx-light):
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H apt-get install nginx
-
-Hosted at /
-~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Create the configuration file ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/searx`` with this
-content:
-
-.. code:: nginx
-
- server {
- listen 80;
- server_name searx.example.com;
- root /usr/local/searx/searx;
-
- location /static {
- }
-
- location / {
- include uwsgi_params;
- uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket;
- }
- }
-
-Create a symlink to sites-enabled:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/searx /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/searx
-
-Restart service:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H service nginx restart
- sudo -H service uwsgi restart
-
-from subdirectory URL (/searx)
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Add this configuration in the server config file
-``/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default``:
-
-.. code:: nginx
-
- location /searx/static {
- alias /usr/local/searx/searx/static;
- }
-
- location /searx {
- uwsgi_param SCRIPT_NAME /searx;
- include uwsgi_params;
- uwsgi_pass unix:/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket;
- }
-
-
-**OR** using reverse proxy (Please, note that reverse proxy advised to be used
-in case of single-user or low-traffic instances.)
-
-.. code:: nginx
-
- location /searx/static {
- alias /usr/local/searx/searx/static;
- }
-
- location /searx {
- proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8888;
- proxy_set_header Host $host;
- proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
- proxy_set_header X-Scheme $scheme;
- proxy_set_header X-Script-Name /searx;
- proxy_buffering off;
- }
-
-
-Enable ``base_url`` in ``searx/settings.yml``
-
-.. code:: yaml
-
- base_url : http://your.domain.tld/searx/
-
-Restart service:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H service nginx restart
- sudo -H service uwsgi restart
-
-disable logs
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-for better privacy you can disable nginx logs about searx.
-
-how to proceed: below ``uwsgi_pass`` in ``/etc/nginx/sites-available/default``
-add:
-
-.. code:: nginx
-
- access_log /dev/null;
- error_log /dev/null;
-
-Restart service:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H service nginx restart
-
-with apache
------------
-
-Add wsgi mod:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H apt-get install libapache2-mod-uwsgi
- sudo -H a2enmod uwsgi
-
-Add this configuration in the file ``/etc/apache2/apache2.conf``:
-
-.. code:: apache
-
- <Location />
- Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
- SetHandler uwsgi-handler
- uWSGISocket /run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket
- </Location>
-
-Note that if your instance of searx is not at the root, you should change
-``<Location />`` by the location of your instance, like ``<Location /searx>``.
-
-Restart Apache:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
-
-disable logs
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-For better privacy you can disable Apache logs.
-
-.. warning::
-
- You can only disable logs for the whole (virtual) server not for a specific
- path.
-
-Go back to ``/etc/apache2/apache2.conf`` and above ``<Location />`` add:
-
-.. code:: apache
-
- CustomLog /dev/null combined
-
-Restart Apache:
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
-
-How to update
-=============
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- cd /usr/local/searx
- sudo -H -u searx -i
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- (searx)$ . ./searx-ve/bin/activate
- (searx)$ git stash
- (searx)$ git pull origin master
- (searx)$ git stash apply
- (searx)$ ./manage.sh update_packages
-
-.. code:: sh
-
- sudo -H service uwsgi restart
-
-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 .
