I've been trying to create a public instance of SearXNG by using NixOS, Cloudflare and Nginx, but I can't seem to make it open to the internet and I've ran out of ideas. Is there anything I'm overlooking?
services.searx = {
enable = true;
redisCreateLocally = true;
limiterSettings = {
real_ip = {
x_for = 1;
ipv4_prefix = 32;
ipv6_prefix = 56;
};
botdetection = {
ip_limit = {
filter_link_local = true;
link_token = true;
};
ip_lists = {
pass_ip = [
"192.168.0.0/16"
"fe80::/10"
];
pass_searxng_org = true;
};
};
};
runInUwsgi = true;
uwsgiConfig = {
socket = "/run/searx/searx.sock";
http = ":8888";
chmod-socket = "660";
disable-logging = true;
};
settings = {
general = {
debug = false;
instance_name = "SearXNG Instance";
donation_url = false;
contact_url = false;
enable_metrics = false;
};
ui = {
static_use_hash = true;
theme_args.simple_style = "dark";
query_in_title = true;
center_alignment = true;
results_on_new_tab = false;
};
search = {
safe_search = 2;
autocomplete_min = 2;
autocomplete = "duckduckgo";
};
server = {
port = 8888;
bind_address = "0.0.0.0";
secret_key = config.sops.secrets.searx.path;
image_proxy = true;
method = "GET";
default_locale = "en";
default_lang = "en-US";
base_url = "https://myinstance.org";
public_instance = true;
};
engines = lib.mapAttrsToList (name: value: {inherit name;} // value) {
"duckduckgo".disabled = false;
"brave".disabled = true;
};
outgoing = {
request_timeout = 5.0;
max_request_timeout = 15.0;
pool_connections = 100;
pool_maxsize = 15;
enable_http2 = true;
};
};
};
services.nginx = {
enable = true;
recommendedGzipSettings = true;
recommendedOptimisation = true;
recommendedProxySettings = true;
recommendedTlsSettings = true;
virtualHosts = {
"myinstance.org" = {
forceSSL = true;
sslCertificate = config.sops.secrets."SSL-Certificates/Cloudflare/Cert".path;
sslCertificateKey = config.sops.secrets."SSL-Certificates/Cloudflare/Key".path;
locations = {
"/" = {
extraConfig = ''
uwsgi_pass unix:${config.services.searx.uwsgiConfig.socket};
'';
};
};
};
};
};
Yeah, good point about the localhost. The ports are fine however. The actual error that I'm getting is coming from nginx:
*1 connect() to unix:/run/searx/searx.sock failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream
. I have added the searx and nginx groups to my main user (which I have to find a workout for anyway, since it might prove to be a security problem), yet it still does not work.Oooh! Check the users of searx and nginx! They don't use your user but their own ones. You might have to add the searx user to the nginx user's group, or vice versa, or a new common group.

Awesome, you were right! Thank you!
For anyone looking to test it out, it's https://search.teatastic.org/
Great! Thanks for sharing the solution ๐ (And the instance)
