Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/benbusby/whoogle-search/issues/1266

I installed Whoogle a while back using a ProxMox Helper Script. Sadly, the repository no longer has the script and "update" in the console doesn't work.

Is there another source for an updated helper script please?

Can you provide your existing helper script, I might be able to reverse engineer it.
Without it I'm not sure how you installed.

Sadly not, the repo does t have it any more. It was written by a guy who has passed away and whoogle doesn't feature in there any more.

The repository is there but whoogle is gone.

Is it possibly in your command history on your proxmox? Is it a VM or a container? If a container, what kind?

A quick whoogle Search showed this:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jniggemann/proxmox-scripts/main/alpine-whoogle.bash
And if doesn't work, @jniggemann might be able to help as he has been active in our way forward discussion

It's an LXC I think I found that script and tried it but it didn't work.

By command history you mean in console? It would only be a link to the old script I think.

I'll contact the other guy and see if he can help.

Thank you

@jniggermann

i should add that the LXC is created and the nic responds to ping but http gives connection refused error

i fixed it !
after LXC deploys and Whoogle installs, enter the shell of the LXC and execute:

apk add --no-cache py3-cachetools

So, anyone with proxmox can have a working whoogle by using this on the proxmox host shell:

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jniggemann/proxmox-scripts/main/alpine-whoogle.bash)"%22)

AND THEN from the shell of the LXC created by the script:

apk add --no-cache py3-cachetools
