Moving searx from Hetzner to 1984
2023-07-25
My Searx instance started one day at Exoscale. It’s a great VPS provider, but at some point 9 €/month felt too much.
For the last few months Hetzner hosted my instance smoothly. Sadly, I recentry received this abuse report.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Thank you for your statement.
-----
I'm hosting a metasearch engine.
What is happening is supposed to happen.
-----
Then please stop hosting that service and move it to another provider.
We can give you 48 hours to confirm that, otherwise we will lock the IP.
Important: Please leave [AbuseID:<redacted>] unchanged in the subject line when replying directly to this report.
Kind regards
Abuse Team

First of all: fu*k google.
Second: I have to find a new home for my instance.
I want to stay in a nice country, so there are few options.
1984.is is definitely worth a try.
I went with the cheapest VPS they offer. 4.5 €/month is acceptable. Sadly,
prices scale bad.
First thing I loved after buying: this nice plain-text email.

Such a juicy selection of ISOs intrigued me. c:
Of course I went with Alpine.
By the way, here
is how you could host Searxng on Alpine.
I’m currently waiting for the next report…
