About
A small setup project with a narrow claim.
This repository installs and documents a local SearXNG search backend for OpenClaw. It is maintained by FiredMosquito831 at Danube Labs and released under the MIT License.
What the project tries to be
A reproducible install path, a configuration that matches the OpenClaw plugin it targets, and documentation that names its limits. The goal is a search endpoint you can run on a small Linux host and reason about.
What it is not
- A public search engine or a hardened multi-tenant service.
- A packaged OpenClaw plugin. It configures one.
- A Docker deployment. That option is not implemented.
- An anonymity network. Upstream engines see your server's IP.
- A benchmark or capacity-planning guide. No latency or memory figures are promised.

How this site is built
Generated, checked, and honest about its sources.
The site is a static build from Jinja2 templates in site/. The
generator validates internal links, canonical URLs, required metadata, the
sitemap, and the absence of known placeholder strings. CI runs the same
--check mode.
Source
Templates and content live in the repository. The Markdown guides remain the canonical long-form documentation.
Build
python scripts/build_site.py writes docs/. --check fails if the committed output is stale.
No fake screenshots
Command blocks contain real commands. The social card is a designed HTML render, not a fabricated screenshot of a running system. Fonts are self-hosted, so reading the docs does not call a third-party font service: Inter license, IBM Plex license.
Acknowledgements
SearXNG for the metasearch engine. OpenClaw for the agent and its external-content handling. Redis for the local cache. The Debian and Ubuntu maintainers for the packaging this setup relies on.
