I followed the steps laid out in this guide and have a docker container for all services needed up and running, with the searxng container running on port 8080. I, however, am not sure how to actually access the search engine. I tried going to the server address in my web browser, including the port, but nothing shows up. I have another container running pihole, so i know i can access other containers web interfaces. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

sudo docker-compose up -dAnd there really isn’t an error as i just don’t know how to actually access it
Okay show me the docker-compose file
Are you accessing this via 127.0.0.1?
If not you need to change it to
8080:8080instead of127.0.0.1:8080:8080
