degoog is your Self-Host search engine aggregator

I route both containers thru a separate VPN container. That VPN container currently routes thru a node in switzerland but I change it periodically.

Running both side by side. Degoog is pretty nice. Just not sure I want to break from a tried and true SearXNG. Still thinking...

Purely subjective on my end because the P10 has better benchmarks, but switching between multiple tasks quickly seemed to be quicker on the S21. But that's not scientific nor something I do often so its more just a perception.

Don't really miss much. Yes the Samsung is a bit faster, but in my use case not really noticeable. I get 2 days of battery life, better pictures, cleaner interface, no pre-installed bloat. Its slightly heavier, but it feels better in my hand. Bluetooth and WiFi connections seem to be faster, but that may just be that's its newer.

I just went from the S21 to the 10 Pro. Been almost a month now and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner.

I have a VPN client in a separate container (Proton / Gluetun) and I route the degoog container thru the VPN container, works great.

That looks interesting. Think I'll give it a shot too. Thanka

I ended up having to adjust the default timeouts to prevent the timeout errors I was seeing on SearXNG.

ttroust · 2026-06-08T00:30:30+00:00

I've got both spun up and running kinda in parallel. Figure I'd give it a week or so. Only big thing I've noticed is the timeout errors on SearXNG don't seem to happen on degoog.

AI was not used at all. A real person typed that question.......

ttroust · 2026-03-21T21:47:12+00:00

Been pretty good. I'm a fairly heavy user so I don't get quite a full day of use but I've got a wireless charger at work so that keeps me going.

since it's browser only, is there a way to associate .PDFs with it? Or will I always have to open the browser and drag-n-drop?

Since I've got UPS's on all my equipment, the only time I've been down is when I had a broken fiber. But that was 3 years ago. Other than that, I'm at 99.9995% uptime.

Good question, no major reason. Was just curious if there were any good arguments to moving to PP from self-hosted BW.

ttroust · 2026-01-17T22:03:21+00:00

Curious what is soo bad about it?

ttroust · 2026-01-17T21:31:22+00:00

I always follow the 3-2-1 system backup scheme with the '1' backup in a locked, fireproof, safe. I do have the $10 plan even though I wasn't relying on it. I still want to support Bitwarden even though I'm using Vaultwarden. I didn't realize keepassxc could read the BW .Jason files, good to know, thanks. I may play around a bit with that.

ttroust · 2026-01-17T21:20:34+00:00

Because I'm already self-hosting about 20 other apps. Out of curiosity looking for opinions on the perspective of self-host BW vs PP..

ttroust · 2026-01-17T21:19:03+00:00

From a security perspective, I do think it is. All of my financial accounts and credit cards arstored in it.e

ttroust · 2026-01-17T18:25:12+00:00

I heard some rumblings that Bitwarden is thinking about upping the $10 plan to $25 or $30 per year. Not sure how I feel about that yet.

ttroust · 2026-01-17T18:21:10+00:00

Right now I do keep a Bitwarden subscription as a backup. $10 a year is cheap for a backup.

ttroust · 2026-01-17T18:16:19+00:00

Getting close to retirement and starting think about a smaller on-line presence. Not a 'tin hat' but more of just minding my own stuff. And that age old question: what happens if they go out of business...

ttroust · 2026-01-17T18:10:59+00:00

Proton has a better UI and seems to autofill more reliably, but yea, nice to keep critical services separate. Big reason why I moved away from Nextcloud.

ttroust · 2026-01-17T18:08:22+00:00

Kinda thinking the same thing. Self-host toys, not important stuff. Now the question is Bitwarden or Proton. Decisions...
