I use my own self hosted SearXNG.
Why the -ng-?
It's a better fork of SearX
Also SearX is no longer maintained https://github.com/searx/searx/commit/276ffd3f01cdd823f75676c51231fad4040059d3#diff-7b3ed02bc73dc06b7db906cf97aa91dec2b2eb21f2d92bc5caa761df5bbc168fR3
Same, it's super simple with Docker and you don't even need to fiddle with ports or anything. I should probably try running it at my work PC now that I think of it.. Anyway, duckduckgo has been good to me for all these years.
How much ram does the container use on average?
Around 100 megas, iirc. Try it out!
I run a "public" instance with basic auth so I can use it from anywhere (phone, work). I've made my instance my default search engine everywhere. (I know basic auth is not the most secure but I wouldn't even really care it other people used my instance; I just don't want it hammered.)
