Trying out searxng

Like a lot of these self hosting projects it's pretty simple to set up. I used the docker-compose from this blog post adjusted for my needs. I realy love tailscale, fwiw, but didn't use it in this little test.

I dunno if this is bad form or not but I didn't want just anyone using my little home server so I added http basic auth. I also found that I needed to add

     proxy_buffer_size   128k;
     proxy_buffers   4 256k;
     proxy_busy_buffers_size   256k;
    

or searches would return 502.

It's working. Will I use it? I'll try.
