¿How to run a public instance with SearXNG-Docker?

[robert-winkler]

Hi, I want to run a public instance of SearXNG on my server mexico-pensante.blog. I tried the following docker command:

docker run --rm -d -p 8888:8080 -v "/usr/local/mexico-pensante-searXNG/searxng:/etc/searxng" -e "BASE_URL=http://mexico-pensante.blog:8888/" -e "INSTANCE_NAME=mexico-pensante.blog SearXNG" searxng/searxng

The container is running:

# docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES
3726ea7ef5f3        searxng/searxng     "/sbin/tini -- /usr/…"   24 hours ago        Up 24 hours         0.0.0.0:8888->8080/tcp   festive_murdock

and I opened the port 8888 and verified it's open:

# iptables -L
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere             tcp dpt:8888

Chain FORWARD (policy DROP)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain DOCKER (0 references)
target     prot opt source               destination         
ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             172.17.0.2           tcp dpt:http-alt

Chain DOCKER-ISOLATION-STAGE-1 (0 references)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain DOCKER-ISOLATION-STAGE-2 (0 references)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain DOCKER-USER (0 references)
target     prot opt source               destination     

Nevertheless, going to http://mexico-pensante.blog:8888/ results in eternal loading...

Any idea what is going wrong?
