# Deploy and Host SearXNG on Railway

[SearXNG](https://github.com/searxng/searxng) is a free internet metasearch engine which aggregates results from up to 245 [search services](https://docs.searxng.org/user/configured_engines.html#configured-engines). Users are neither tracked nor profiled. Additionally, SearXNG can be used over Tor for online anonymity.

## About Hosting SearXNG

This template allows you to host SearXNG on Railway out-of-the-box using its official image.

## Common Use Cases

- Alternative search engine to replace Google, DuckDuckGo, Yandex, etc.
- Proxy for said search engines (In case of ISP blocking or you just hate the idea of them being able to track you).
- Integrating search engine to an AI implementation.

## Dependencies for SearXNG Hosting

None, it just works™. You just need to generate a strong secret key for cryptography purposes.

### Deployment Dependencies

  - [`redis:`](https://docs.searxng.org/admin/settings/settings_redis.html) (Deprecated in favor of Valkey)
