Run docker ps and check what port the container claims to have been mapped on the host.
Looking at the compose and .env file you have to just call the hostname of your machine on port 80:
SEARXNG_HOSTNAME=${SEARXNG_HOSTNAME:-http://localhost:80}
Since that is probably already taken you might have caddie not starting properly
What port did you expose it on through docker?
Within docker, the server port is internal to docker (like a vm) and then there’s an external port that you map it to on the host…
Can you give me the command you use to launch it?
What is the error you get in the browser? Timeout? 500?
Thanks so much for a quick reply, you're awesome! I believe still 8080, i didn't set a custom port anywhere, here is my docker ps
nathan@pop-os /usr/local/searxng-docker$ 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.
Okay show me the docker-compose file
