# SearxNG Module
This module deploys [SearxNG](https://searx.github.io/searx/), a privacy-respecting metasearch engine, as a Docker container in the homelab environment.
## Overview
The SearxNG module:
- Deploys the `searxng/searxng` Docker container
- Persists configuration data to a volume on the host
- Provides service definition for integration with networking modules
## Usage
```hcl
module "searxng" {
source = "./modules/20-services-apps/searxng"
volume_path = "/path/to/volumes/searxng"
networks = ["homelab-network"]
}
```
## Variables
| Variable | Description | Type | Default |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | -------------- | ---------- |
| `image_tag` | Tag of the SearxNG image to use | `string` | `"latest"` |
| `volume_path` | Host path for SearxNG configuration volume | `string` | - |
| `networks` | List of networks to which the container should be attached | `list(string)` | `[]` |
## Outputs
| Output | Description |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| `service_definition` | Service definition for integration with networking modules |
## Service Definition
This module outputs a service definition that is used by the networking modules to expose the service.
```hcl
{
name = "searxng"
primary_port = 8080
endpoint = "http://searxng:8080"
subdomains = ["search"]
publish_via = "tunnel" # Only publish through Cloudflare tunnel
}
```
## Data Persistence
SearxNG stores its configuration in a single volume:
- Configuration: `/etc/searxng` in the container, mapped to `${volume_path}/config` on the host
## Integration with Networking Modules
This service is configured to be exposed through a Cloudflare tunnel for secure remote access, set by `publish_via = "tunnel"`.
## Example Integration in Main Configuration
```hcl
module "searxng" {
source = "./modules/20-services-apps/searxng"
volume_path = module.system_globals.volume_host
networks = [module.services.homelab_docker_network_name]
}
# The service definition is automatically included in the services output
module "services" {
source = "./modules/services"
# ...
service_definitions = [
module.searxng.service_definition,
# Other service definitions
]
}
```
