Error in displaying sources - failed to obtain information

[arsaboo]

I was able to get it working using Ollama. I am getting the results, but the sources are not displayed.

Here's my .env

Hi, Are you using Docker for deployment?

1. please make sure SearXNG's API is working.
2. make sure this project can access SearXNG's API.
3. you may need to modify SEARXNG_HOSTNAME in .env if you are using docker to deploy this project. (please ensure that this Docker can access the host machine's network.

I am using docker for deployment and followed the process listed in the docs. What should the SEARXNG_HOSTNAME be? How do I test it

[arsaboo]

or...do I have to have to deploy searxng separately?

[yokingma]

@arsaboo yes... searxng-docker

[arsaboo]

@yokingma So, I am running searxng using the following:

version: "3.7"

services:
  redis:
    container_name: redis
    image: docker.io/library/redis:alpine
    command: redis-server --save 30 1 --loglevel warning
    networks:
      - searxng
    volumes:
      - redis-data:/data
    cap_drop:
      - ALL
    cap_add:
      - SETGID
      - SETUID
      - DAC_OVERRIDE

  searxng:
    container_name: searxng
    image: docker.io/searxng/searxng:latest
    networks:
      - searxng
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
    environment:
      - SEARXNG_BASE_URL=https://${SEARXNG_HOSTNAME:-localhost}/
    cap_drop:
      - ALL
    cap_add:
      - CHOWN
      - SETGID
      - SETUID
    logging:
      driver: "json-file"
      options:
        max-size: "1m"
        max-file: "1"

networks:
  searxng:
    ipam:
      driver: default

volumes:
  redis-data:

and I can access searxng using the IP address http://192.168.2.122:8080/

But I am still getting the same error. How do I change the SEARXNG_HOSTNAME?

It may be useful for you to create a complete docker compose file...to avoid such issues.

[arsaboo]

Same error even with:

version: "3.7"

services:
  redis:
    container_name: redis
    image: docker.io/library/redis:alpine
    command: redis-server --save 30 1 --loglevel warning
    volumes:
      - redis-data:/data
    cap_drop:
      - ALL
    cap_add:
      - SETGID
      - SETUID
      - DAC_OVERRIDE

  searxng:
    container_name: searxng
    image: docker.io/searxng/searxng:latest
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./searxng:/etc/searxng:rw
    environment:
      - SEARXNG_BASE_URL=https://${SEARXNG_HOSTNAME:-localhost}/
    cap_drop:
      - ALL
    cap_add:
      - CHOWN
      - SETGID
      - SETUID
    logging:
      driver: "json-file"
      options:
        max-size: "1m"
        max-file: "1"

volumes:
  redis-data:

See here for an example of a combined docker-compose file or it will be great if you can provide an example.

[yokingma]

@arsaboo Thanks for your suggestion, I have added docker-compose file.

docker compose up -d

[arsaboo]

Sources are working now... but for some reason Ollama isn't working with the same URL (I do see Ollama running on that URL). I'll check and let you know

[yokingma]

@arsaboo Maybe the docker can't access the host's network?

[yokingma]

# wondows or mac
OLLAMA_HOST=http://host.docker.internal:11434

[arsaboo]

Ok...so it worked if I run the docker on the same computer where Ollama is running. I was unable to get Ollama working from another host. But I will close this issue as the original issue is fixed. I will create a few more issues[feature requests] for you to consider.
