installing searx with https on a different port

[hakova]

Hi,

I apologize in advance if this is a silly question, but what I am trying to do is installing searx container to be reachable from outside world by https from a non-conventional port. To accomplish this, I copied the docker-compose.yaml file to docker-compose-extend.yaml file and edited the caddy ports section to read as follows:

• 25000:80
• 25001:443
  Host machine firewall was set to allow access to the ports 25000 and 25001 via tcp. The edge router was also set to forward ports 80 and 443 to 25000 and 25001 respectively on the host machine.
  Then I tested these settings by running start.sh which reported that Letsencrypt could not access the ports for certification.

What am I missing?

Thanks for the pointers in advance!

Have you had any luck? I have been trying to figure this out too.

Nope, not with this container/package. I compromised with installing another searx container (wonderfall/searx) which allows you to switch ports as described above and very easily, but lacks the SSL layer. I don't expose that port to internet and make it only available within my LAN. This was the solution I settled with, I hope it helps.

Since the commit bdf5619 this solution should work:

• edit Caddyfile
• after

  searx-docker/Caddyfile

  Line 2 in bdf5619

  admin off

  add :

http_port 25000
https_port 25001

See https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile/options

---

No need to modify docker-compose.yml , because of

searx-docker/docker-compose.yaml

Line 8 in bdf5619

network_mode: host

(see #26 )

Thank you @dalf. This is now resolved.
