Getting Started

🚀 Installation

1. The Easy Way (Docker Compose)

The fastest way to test Searchbase locally is using the native DuckDuckGo demo Compose example:

3

git clone https://github.com/coolapso/searchbase.git
cd searchbase
docker compose -f examples/compose/docker-compose.native.yml up

The Gateway will be available at http://localhost:8080.

2. The Production Way (Kubernetes)

Searchbase is designed to run on Kubernetes. You can scale search-gateway, crawl-worker, and search backends independently based on traffic, rendering load, and search workload.
