Requirements (make sure to read all of them)

• [X] It is my instance. I bought the domain myself and I own this domain. Free domains (e.g. Freenom) and shared domains (e.g. noip.com) are not allowed.
• [X] I'll keep my instance up to date, at the very least 1 week old. Example program for keeping up to date: watchtower, cron, ouroboros.
• [X] I give the right to check.searx.space to check my instance (every 3 hours for the response times, every 24 hours for the other tests).
• [X] I acknowledge that managing a public instance is not an easy task and require spending time to keep the instance in good health. E.g. look after your instance by using a monitoring system.
• [X] I guarantee to keep an uptime per month of my instance at minimum 90%. Please ask for a removal of your instance if there is a planned long downtime or notify us here for a short downtime.
• [X] I do not track the users of my instance with any analytics or tracking software.
• [X] I won't try to manipulate the ranking of my instance in a way that give an unfair advantage over the other public instances in the list. (e.g. caching requests for searx.space server)
• [X] I control the final webserver (software) that is serving the requests to the users of my instance. Here is a non-exhaustive list of forbidden hosting types: Cloudflare, PaaS, managed (hosting provider controlled) HTTP(S) load balancer (e.g. AWS ALB), shared Web hosting. TCP load balancer is fine. Cloudflare DNS only (grey cloud) is fine.
• [X] If needed, I can restrict users from accessing my instance for the only sole reason of keeping my instance in working conditions for the other users (detailed description - evidence need to be provided when asked). Other means of restriction is forbidden.

Bot protection requirement

• [X] Yes I have configured the server.public_instance parameter.

I also use basic, light bot protection in nginx and have made sure that uptime checks such as those coming from check.searx.space are whitelisted. The bot protections have never caused any issues for my other public services.

Please consider joining our Matrix room for public instance maintainers by joining our Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org then pinging @ unixfox, @ dalf and @ mrpaulblack for asking to be invited to the Matrix room. We discuss troubles managing a public instance, sharing some advices (like how to protect against bots), announcing big changes in searxng and more.
