How to access self hosted SearXNG? - eviltoast

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!

    Looking at the compose and .env file you have to just call the hostname of your machine on port 80:

    SEARXNG_HOSTNAME=${SEARXNG_HOSTNAME:-http://localhost:80}

    Since that is probably already taken you might have caddie not starting properly
