# Self-host SearXNG with Docker

> A privacy-respecting metasearch engine that aggregates results from dozens of search services.

A privacy-respecting metasearch engine that aggregates results from dozens of search services.

This page describes the Levelrail template for SearXNG (Applications). It deploys the services below as one Docker Compose app on your own server. Project site: [https://docs.searxng.org](https://docs.searxng.org).

Recommended memory: about 256 MiB.

## Services, ports and volumes

| Service | Image | Container ports | Volumes |
| - | - | - | - |
| `redis` | `redis:7-alpine` | none | `searxng_redis_data -> /data` |
| `searxng` | `searxng/searxng:2026.9.23-3cd69d30e` | 8080 | none |

## Environment variables

| Service | Variable | Value |
| - | - | - |
| `searxng` | `SEARXNG_REDIS_URL` | Preset in the template |
| `searxng` | `SEARXNG_SECRET` | Generated at deploy |

Passwords and keys marked as generated are created for you when the app is deployed and stored as secrets. Values are not shown here.

## Deploy SearXNG with Levelrail

In the dashboard, open **Apps**, choose **New app**, then **Browse templates**, and select SearXNG. Review the Compose body and deploy.

With the CLI:

```bash theme={"dark"}
