Selfhosted

53386 readers

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I used to self-host searxng for a while, but somehow the search results were always off and mixed with to much non-relevant results :/.

It's not about searxng itself... Rather how the most relevant info gets drown into AI slope and non-sense bullshit. The best blogposts/info are transmitted from people to people...

I'm kinda sad to admit that stupid AI "solved" this issue and had better results :/

You can self host that too ;)

OpenWebUI + Ollama + SearxNG. OpenWebUI can do llm web search using the engine of your choice (even self hosted SearxNG!). From there it's easy to set the default prompt to always give you the top (10, 20, whatever) raw results so you're not confined to ai results. It's not quite duck.ai slick but I think I can get there with some more tinkering.

Ohoho? That's interesting. I don't have the horse power to selfhost an AI, but that's good to know !

Thanks for the pointer !!!
