Installation and Testing 🛠️
For full setup instructions, see: Installation
Before you can start building websurfx, you will need to have Cargo installed on your system. You can find the installation instructions here.
To get started with Websurfx, clone the repository, edit the config file, which is located in the websurfx/ directory, and install the Redis server by following the instructions located here and then run the websurfx server and redis server using the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/neon-mmd/websurfx.git
cd websurfx
git checkout stable
cargo build -r
redis-server --port 8082 &
./target/release/websurfx
Once you have started the server, open your preferred web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:8080 to start using Websurfx.
Note
- The project is no longer in the testing phase and is now ready for production use.
- There are many features still missing like
support for image search,different categories,quick apps, etc but they will be added soon as part of future releases.
Configuration 🔧
For full configuration instructions, see: Configuration
Websurfx is configured through the config.lua file, located at websurfx/config.lua.
Theming 🎨
For full theming and customization instructions, see: Theming
Websurfx comes loaded with several themes and color schemes, which you can apply and edit through the config file. It also supports custom themes and color schemes using CSS, allowing you to make it truly yours.
Multi-Language Support 🌍
Note
Currently, we do not support other languages but we will start accepting contributions regarding language support in the future. We believe language should never be a barrier to entry.
System Requirements 📊
At present, we only support x86_64 architecture systems, but we would love to have contributions that extend to other architectures as well.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) 🗨️
Why Websurfx?
The primary purpose of the Websurfx project is to create a fast, secure, and privacy-focused meta-search engine. There are numerous meta-search engines available, but not all guarantee the security of their search engine, which is critical for maintaining privacy. Memory flaws, for example, can expose private or sensitive information, which is understandably bad. There is also the added problem of spam, ads, and inorganic results which most engines don't have a fool-proof answer to. Until now. With Websurfx I finally put a full stop to this problem. Websurfx is based on Rust, which ensures memory safety and removes such issues. Many meta-search engines also lack important features like advanced picture search, required by graphic designers, content providers, and others. Websurfx improves the user experience by providing these and other features, such as proper NSFW blocking and Micro-apps or Quick Results (providing a calculator, currency exchanges, etc in the search results).
Why AGPLv3?
Websurfx is distributed under the AGPLv3 license to keep the source code open and transparent. This helps keep malware, telemetry, and other dangers out of the project. AGPLv3 is a strong copyleft license that ensures the software's source code, including any modifications or improvements made to the code, remains open and available to everyone.
Why Rust?
Websurfx is based on Rust due to its memory safety features, which prevents vulnerabilities and makes the codebase more secure. Rust is also faster than C++, contributing to Websurfx's speed and responsiveness. Finally, the Rust ownership and borrowing system enables secure concurrency and thread safety in the program.
