About
Whoogle is a self-hosted search proxy that fetches Google search results and presents them without ads, tracking, or clutter. It provides a clean, privacy-focused search experience while using Google's search algorithm. Features include no ads or tracking, customizable themes (dark, light, separator), config filters, language and region customization, HTML/DJSON/TXT export options, safe search toggle, and the ability to use as your default search engine. It's the simplest way to search Google privately - your searches never directly hit Google's servers from your IP.
How to Self-Host Whoogle
Whoogle can be deployed with standard Docker Compose using the Yantr app catalog. This page collects the basic information searchers usually need first: what Whoogle does, which Docker image Yantr uses, default ports, dependencies, and where to find the original compose template.
If you searched for Whoogle Docker, Whoogle Docker Compose, or self-host Whoogle, this page is the direct landing page for that app in Yantr's catalog.
