I haven’t used yacy in a whole, but i had configured it to auto import and index links from linkding. I also imported my browser history to get started.
Never tried the p2p option though so not sure how well that worked. I was worried about indexing private sites on accident .
In general, to everyone who finds Yacy as an interesting project, just give it a try!
It’s relatively light weight, and having millions of pages indexed does not take that much disk space, in my case: 3.5 million indexed pages is around 200 gigabytes only.
Yacy is far from perfect, and it’s an ancient project. But it’s still alive and kicking strong!
Hi!
I’ve been selfhosting Yacy for some years, even tho I rarely use it (I’m mostly using Kagi these days).
But some tips:
And not directly Yacy related, but you can use your own Yacy through Searxng as well, even in ‘private’(non P2P) mode.
