Google's practices of censorship and shadowbanning contribute to a less informed society and a weakened education system. To mitigate these effects, consider using searXNG. Here are the steps to install it on Linux Mint.
sudo apt install redis-server
sudo apt install apache2
and you need a working python environment as searxng is written in python...
sudo apt install python3 -y
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python
Download SearXNG. Clone it to the /tmp folder and not the home folder.
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/searxng/searxng.git
cd searxng
The docs are available at https://docs.searxng.org/
The only supported operating systems are...
ubuntu-*|debian-*)
# For uWSGI debian uses the LSB init process; for each configuration
# file new uWSGI daemon instance is started with additional option.
service uwsgi status "${SERVICE_NAME}"
;;
arch-*)
systemctl --no-pager -l status "uwsgi@${SERVICE_NAME%.*}"
;;
fedora-*)
You then need to change every instances of
ubuntu-*|debian-*)
to
ubuntu-*|debian-*|linuxmint-*)
The file it gets its Linux installation name is /etc/os-release variable ID
echo $(source /etc/os-release; echo "$ID");
or
cat /etc/os-release
the files in reference are...
- ./utils/searxng.sh
- ./utils/lib.sh
- ./utils/lib_redis.sh
