I self host my own SearXNG instance on a Oracle free tier 1core/1GB ram vps. It’s fast enough for me and it’s free

I started using it on instances, like other WebApps example invidious, but instances get constantly banned and sometimes you can’t use them or rely on them. So yes I selfhosted it. You don’t need any special hardware. Docker is very simple to use . I even went further and used an old laptop as server with Linux , installed tailscale everywhere and using funnel (or server if you don’t want to expose to internet) got my own domain , with certs, with reverse proxy in one shot. It’s a f miracle . Tailscale has full documentation and step by steps guides. I just followed those. If you want to make it even simpler, install proxmox and use containers . They are like tiny Linuxes with their own Mac, IP , etc
