version: '3.3'

services:

    redis:
        image: "redis:alpine"
        restart: always
        command: redis-server --save "" --appendonly "no"
        tmpfs:
            - /var/lib/redis
        cap_drop:
            - ALL
        cap_add:
            - SETGID
            - SETUID
            - DAC_OVERRIDE

    searxng:
        image: elestio/searxng:latest
        restart: always
        ports:
            - "172.17.0.1:2468:8080"
        volumes:
            - ./searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
        environment:
            - SEARXNG_BASE_URL=[***]{DOMAIN}/
        cap_drop:
            - ALL
        cap_add:
            - CHOWN
            - SETGID
            - SETUID
            - DAC_OVERRIDE
        logging:
            driver: "json-file"
            options:

Environment variables

Maintenance

Logging

The Elestio SearXNG Docker image sends the container logs to stdout. To view the logs, you can use the following command:

docker-compose logs -f

To stop the stack you can use the following command:

docker-compose down

Backup and Restore with Docker Compose

To make backup and restore operations easier, we are using folder volume mounts. You can simply stop your stack with docker-compose down, then backup all the files and subfolders in the folder near the docker-compose.yml file.

Creating a ZIP Archive For example, if you want to create a ZIP archive, navigate to the folder where you have your docker-compose.yml file and use this command:

zip -r myarchive.zip .

Restoring from ZIP Archive To restore from a ZIP archive, unzip the archive into the original folder using the following command:

unzip myarchive.zip -d /path/to/original/folder

Starting Your Stack Once your backup is complete, you can start your stack again with the following command:

docker-compose up -d

That's it! With these simple steps, you can easily backup and restore your data volumes using Docker Compose.
