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!
What port did you expose it on through docker?
Within docker, the server port is internal to docker (like a vm) and then there’s an external port that you map it to on the host…
Can you give me the command you use to launch it?
What is the error you get in the browser? Timeout? 500?
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

sudo docker-compose up -dAnd 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
8080:8080instead of127.0.0.1:8080:8080Okay show me the docker-compose file
