Whoogle Search is a self-hosted, ad-free, privacy-respecting metasearch engine that allows users to get Google search results without ads, JavaScript, AMP links, cookies, or IP address tracking. It can be easily deployed using Docker, making it simple to set up and manage.

Step 1

Install container manager, If you have already installed the manager jump to step 3

Select Main menu or the Package Center shortcut

Step 2

Type in Container in the Search bar and Press enter on your keyboard. Then you will See Container manager like below. in my case i have installed the Container manager already. Select install, wait a few second and then select open.

Step 3

Now you have selected open you should see a screen like below and The Manager will say Running in green. Select open and move on to the next step.

Step 4

Now you will be Presented with the below. This is the Container manager over view of all your Containers and what’s happening in real time.

Step 5

Select project from the menu down the side and then select Create button

Step 6

before we go any thurther we need to ensure we have our folders setup ready for the project.

I have a main folder on the Synology system just for docker projects. create the following folders using filestation in the config folder

• Config

Step 7

now we have created the folders needed for the project we can go ahead and create the project in Container manager

Give the project a name, change source to Create docker-compose.yml and add the path. Project name is all lower case.

See below for before and after the code you will need is below also.

the volume path needs tobe exact or the project will return a fail.

press next when you are happy with the code

Step 8

setup a web portal if you like . I would not advise it. and press next

Step 9

Step 10

If you have a Exit Code of 0 like i have below then you are done. project created. if you have a Exit code 1 you have a error and need to visit the code again and trouble shoot.

Step 11

One last thing you can check to see if the docker is Green and showing no Errors, todo that just goto Container manager and on the left select Projects and duckdns will be there Status Colum should be green if not you will need to trouble shoot.

Step 12

now you can access you whoogle using your broswer.
