## What it is
A Docker Compose-based deployment setup for self-hosting SearXNG, a privacy-respecting metasearch engine. The repository is now deprecated and superseded by the official SearXNG Docker installation documentation.

## Use cases
- self-host a private metasearch engine with docker compose
- deploy searxng with reverse proxy and letsencrypt
- run a privacy-friendly google search alternative on my server
- set up searxng instance with caddy and redis
- host my own search engine without tracking

## When to choose
- you maintain an existing installation and need the legacy setup files
- you want a quick reference for the old searxng-docker compose layout

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new installation - use the official SearXNG Docker docs instead
- you want active support or updates
- you need a maintained deployment method

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: abandoned
- function: search-engine, self-hosted, deployment, infrastructure-as-code
- domain: self-hosted, privacy
- platform: self-hosted
- tags: docker-compose, metasearch, searxng, deprecated, search, devops, docker, linux
