Hosting LibreX should be easy since no 3rd party PHP libs are used.
All you need is PHP with the curl and dom extension enabled.
If you want to host it just for yourself a PHP development server should be enough:
git clone https://github.com/hnhx/librex.git
cd librex
sudo php -S 127.0.0.1:80
If you want to host an online instance you should consider using a production web server (e.g.: nginx).
Example API request: .../api.php?q=gentoo&p=2&type=0
