It is my instance. I bought the domain myself and I own this domain. Free domains (e.g. Freenom) and shared domains (e.g. noip.com) are not allowed.
I'll keep my instance up to date, at the very least 1 week old. Example program for keeping up to date: watchtower, cron, ouroboros.
I give the right to check.searx.space to check my instance (every 3 hours for the response times, every 24 hours for the other tests).
I acknowledge that managing a public instance is not an easy task and require spending time to keep the instance in good health. E.g. look after your instance by using a monitoring system.
I guarantee to keep an uptime per month of my instance at minimum 90%. Please ask for a removal of your instance if there is a planned long downtime or notify us here for a short downtime.
I do not track the users of my instance with any analytics or tracking software.
I won't try to manipulate the ranking of my instance in a way that give an unfair advantage over the other public instances in the list. (e.g. caching requests for searx.space server)
I control the final webserver (software) that is serving the requests to the users of my instance. Here is a non-exhaustive list of forbidden hosting types: Cloudflare, PaaS, managed (hosting provider controlled) HTTP(S) load balancer (e.g. AWS ALB), shared Web hosting. TCP load balancer is fine. Cloudflare DNS only (grey cloud) is fine.
If needed, I can restrict users from accessing my instance for the only sole reason of keeping my instance in working conditions for the other users (detailed description - evidence need to be provided when asked). Other means of restriction is forbidden.
Bot protection requirement
Yes I have configured the server.public_instance parameter.
Please consider joining our Matrix room for public instance maintainers by joining our Matrix room: https://matrix.to/#/#searxng:matrix.org
then pinging @ unixfox, @ dalf and @ mrpaulblack for asking to be invited to the Matrix room.
We discuss troubles managing a public instance, sharing some advices (like how to protect against bots), announcing big changes in searxng and more.
