Deploy a self-hosted SearXNG meta search engine via Docker Compose. Covers settings.yml configuration, engine selection, result proxying, Nginx frontend, persistence, and updates. Use when setting up a private search engine without tracking, aggregating results from multiple providers, running a shared search instance for a team or organisation, or replacing reliance on a single search provider.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/deploy-searxng@sha256:b479d3ed9cd49e34The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
