Installing Whoogle on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W in 2025

I had to update the instructions for my 2024 article. Here it is:

@dennisfaucher So it still works? I see a big warning sign on the Github page: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search

#Proxmox VE - Je mets en pause d'autres services Blabla Linux ❗
Ils sont peu utilisés (je pense 🤔), et font double emploi 😉
Je parle de #PsiTransfer (#Pingvin et #Zipline sont là), de #Whoogle (#SearXNG est là) et de #PassED (#PwPush est là) 😎

#Whoogle Blabla Linux passe en version 0.9.3 😎

#Farside est un service qui redirige vers des instances fonctionnelles de frontends alternatifs orientés vers la confidentialité, tels que #Nitter, #Libreddit, #invidious, #whoogle etc. Cela permet aux utilisateurs d'avoir un accès plus fiable aux instances publiques disponibles pour un service particulier, tout en aidant à distribuer le trafic plus uniformément sur toutes les instances et à éviter les goulets d'étranglement et la limitation des performances : https://cf.farside.link/

It ain't perfect but there is a Whoogle update (using the Lynx user-agent) that seems to be working for now, which means my Whoogle instance is back up.

Toll .... #Whoogle funktioniert auch mal wieder nicht .... fuck you Google 🤬

To anyone using my Whoogle instance: There have been some changes made by Google which have bombed the use of Whoogle for now. Details can be found in benbusby's comment here.

"It looks like Google has removed the ability to fetch search results from their javascript-free URL (which is what Whoogle uses for everything)."

I'll be keeping an eye on it and will update as soon as [and if] a fix comes. :blobcatfrowningbig:

@Octavia En voici un autre, #Whoogle, je le garde déployé sur mes serveurs, mais il est beaucoup plus simple. Cela n'a rien à voir avec #SearXNG : https://whoogle.blablalinux.be

Fin de journée, MàJ de certains services BBL😎
👉 #Etherpad v2.2.6
👉 #Gotify v2.6.1
👉 #Heimdall v2.6.3
👉 #Mattermost 10.2.0
👉 #Nginx v2.12.1
👉 #OnlyOffice v12.6.0
👉 #Picsur v0.5.6
👉 #Privatebin v1.7.5
👉 #StirlingPDF v0.35.0
👉 #Linkwarden v2.8.4
👉 #Whoogle v0.9.1

Certains m'ont demandé s'il pouvait mettre #Whoogle ou #SearXNG Blabla Linux comme moteur par défaut ?
Vous faites ce que vous voulez, c'est en libre accès 😉
Pensez juste que si trop de personnes sont dessus en même temps, les requêtes risquent de subir des ralentissements 😋

Après avoir proposé en libre accès le métamoteur de recherche #Whoogle, qui est très simple (un peu trop ?), je vous propose, toujours en libre accès, #Searx (https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Searx) 😮 Il est génial ✔️ Les recherches sont top, et beaucoup de réglages sont permis 👍
Voici le lien ▶️ https://yourls.blablalinux.be/searxng

@KarchWrites @nixCraft I’m still on the “then” side with #whoogle :-)

Added #RedLib to my #Homelab alongside #Invidious and #Whoogle for extra #privacy. 🚀 After two days, #Immich finally wrapped up importing my iCloud photo collection—big thumbs up! 👍

Still missing a solid #SelfHosting option for #notes with #Markdown support, so I’m making do with Obsidian in #Nextcloud. Any suggestions? Much appreciated! 🙏

#Proxmox #SelfHosting

@hinobara @periferica @soviet me acordé de que también tengo una instancia de #whoogle corriendo por ahí. Le acabo de pegar una actualizada 😅

I’ve decided to give #Whoogle another shot on my external #VPS since it only threw error messages in my #homelab. 🏡 Here, it’s working without any issues! 🎉 Both my landline and VPS have fixed IP addresses, so I’m not sure what the original problem was. 🤔

But now, I'm ready to test #Whoogle again! Let’s see how it goes! 🚀

@nevarro Just recreated the container and boom - same error right on the first test. 🤦‍♂️ Couldn't come up with anything better to to search for. It could be that the throttling is on #Google's side, and #Whoogle isn't fully to blame. 🤷‍♂️

But in the end, as a user, that doesn’t really matter to me, because I’ve got a working alternative. 🚀 #SearXNG to the rescue!
