# A Meme Search Engine built to self-host in Python, Ruby, and Docker
[](https://discord.gg/7xsxU4ZG6A)
Use AI to index your memes by their content and text, making them easily retrievable for your meme warfare pleasures.
By default, processing from image-to-text extraction, to vector embedding, to search is performed locally. You can also use an OpenAI-compatible vision API for description generation while keeping embeddings and search local.

alt="meme-search-2.0-demo">
</p>
This repository contains the services and web app for indexing, searching, and retrieving your memes with semantic and keyword search.
## Quick start
```sh
git clone https://github.com/neonwatty/meme-search.git
cd meme-search
docker compose up
```
Open <http://localhost:3000>, then drag, drop, or paste images on the upload page. The first local description generation downloads the selected model, so it takes longer than later generations.
The web UI binds to `127.0.0.1` by default because Meme Search does not currently include authentication. To access it from another device on a trusted network, copy `.env.example` to `.env` and set `APP_BIND_ADDRESS=0.0.0.0`. Do not expose an unauthenticated instance directly to the internet; use an authenticated reverse proxy or VPN.
