I recently learned about a great search engine called SearxNG. it can be self hosted and is a metaseach engine, AKA it uses everyone else’s search engine and puts the top results out of all of them in your search results. I instantly loved this because it gave me AD free/ Sponsored free search results, aswell as the added benefit of keeping my search query’s on my local machine. However i then realized, it asks other search engines like google and bing for querys. I did not like that, so i setup Gluetun as a network host in docker, which then takes all searx querys and tunnels them through the VPN. making it harder to figure out what im searching compared to my raw IP adress. i have the DockerFile and thought i would share. anything with $$$ needs to be changed.

    Have you by any chance managed to set it up with a reverse proxy? I can’t get communication between two containers working if one’s using Gluetun.

      You can place both containers within the same gluetun network, and make gluetun expose that containers ports

      I never used a proxy. I have it setup that gluetun opens port 8080 as the network host. So all traffic is routed through gluetun, i verified it by installing traceroute in the searx container.

      Thats my whole stack
