Deploy Perplexica in one click installation.
Privacy-focused AI search engine that combines internet knowledge with local LLMs and delivers cited answers without tracking your queries.
What you can build with Perplexica
Perplexica is an open-source AI-powered answering engine that runs entirely on your own hardware. It searches the web and synthesizes accurate answers with cited sources, supporting both local LLMs via Ollama and cloud providers such as OpenAI, Claude, and Groq — so you choose the model that fits your privacy and performance requirements.
Self-hosting Perplexica keeps every search query private on your server. Unlike cloud-based AI search products, there is no usage tracking, no query logging by third parties, and no subscription fees — just fast, cited answers under your full control.
Key features of Perplexica
Cited AI answers
Every response includes source links so you can verify information and dive deeper without blindly trusting AI-generated content.
Local LLM Support
Connect Ollama to run open-source models entirely on your hardware with zero data sent to external services.
Multi-Provider Flexibility
Switch between OpenAI, Claude, Groq, and other cloud providers from a single interface to balance cost and capability.
Complete Search Privacy
All queries stay on your VPS — no search history shared with ad networks or analytics platforms tracking your behavior.

Docker VPS hosting you can rely on
I'm incredibly happy with Hostinger's VPS hosting! Their uptime is consistently top-notch, keeping my site running smoothly. Whenever I've needed help, their technical support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful.
Everything is smooth and great with Hostinger, the AI chat bot + human chat, if AI can't resolve your question. Oh and them VPS is just fire, no ups and downs. Thank you dev team and everyone else involved. Keep it up 🚀
Finally a VPS hosting company that does it right! Well-priced. Excellent portal that respects their users' time. Seamless backups. Good support. Reliable. Feels rock-solid.
I reached out to Hostinger support after losing access to my self-hosted n8n instance, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Hostinger Agent and Mohammad from the support team were incredibly patient and thorough.
Many thanks to Carla for helping me with this N8N upgrade on my Hostinger VPS. Professional and knowledgeable, thank you again Carla.
Hostinger VPS is absolutely outstanding. It just always works. It is always fast and stable. Never down, never crashes.
The company is doing well, I am very happy with the specific services I use through them. Not as expensive as some places with really great VPS set ups and price plans.
