I followed the steps laid out in this guide and have a docker container for all services needed up and running, with the searxng container running on port 8080. I, however, am not sure how to actually access the search engine. I tried going to the server address in my web browser, including the port, but nothing shows up. I have another container running pihole, so i know i can access other containers web interfaces. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks so much for a quick reply, you’re awesome! I believe still 8080, i didn’t set a custom port anywhere, here is my docker ps

    nathan@pop-os /usr/local/searxng-docker$ sudo docker ps 1 ↵ CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NAMES 122541a0442e redis:alpine "docker-entrypoint.s…" 26 minutes ago Up 26 minutes 6379/tcp redis 8031ada30eea searxng/searxng:latest "/sbin/tini -- /usr/…" 26 minutes ago Up 26 minutes 127.0.0.1:8080->8080/tcp searxng cdf75064d7c7 pihole/pihole:latest "/s6-init" 17 hours ago Up 11 hours (healthy) 0.0.0.0:53->53/udp, :::53->53/udp, 0.0.0.0:53->53/tcp, :::53->53/tcp, 0.0.0.0:80->80/tcp, 0.0.0.0:67->67/udp, :::80->80/tcp, :::67->67/udp pihole

    To launch the container i used

    sudo docker-compose up -d

    And there really isn’t an error as i just don’t know how to actually access it

      Are you accessing this via 127.0.0.1?

      If not you need to change it to 8080:8080 instead of 127.0.0.1:8080:8080

      Where is this running on? If this is your own computer, http://127.0.0.1:8080 is how you access it. If it is another computer, remote or not, you need to change how you start the container to be able to access it.
