| This section explains how to set up a SearXNG instance using the HTTP server Apache_.
 | |
| If you did use the :ref:`installation scripts` and do not have any special preferences
 | |
| you can install the :ref:`SearXNG site <apache searxng site>` using
 | |
| :ref:`searxng.sh <searxng.sh overview>`:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|    $ sudo -H ./utils/searxng.sh install apache
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you have special interests or problems with setting up Apache, the following
 | |
| section might give you some guidance.

| The Apache HTTP server
 | |
| ======================
 | |
| 
 | |
| If Apache_ is not installed, install it now. If apache_ is new to you, the
 | |
| `Getting Started`_, `Configuration Files`_ and `Terms Used to Describe
 | |
| Directives`_ documentation gives first orientation.  There is also a list of
 | |
| `Apache directives`_ *to keep in the pocket*.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. tabs::
 | |
| 
 | |
|    .. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|          sudo -H apt-get install apache2
 | |
| 
 | |
|    .. group-tab:: Arch Linux
 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|          sudo -H pacman -S apache
 | |
|          sudo -H systemctl enable httpd
 | |
|          sudo -H systemctl start http
 | |
| 
 | |
|    .. group-tab::  Fedora / RHEL
 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|          sudo -H dnf install httpd
 | |
|          sudo -H systemctl enable httpd
 | |
|          sudo -H systemctl start httpd
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now at http://localhost you should see some kind of *Welcome* or *Test* page.
 | |
| How this default site is configured, depends on the linux distribution
 | |
| (compare `Apache directives`_).
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. tabs::

 | |
|          less /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf
 | |
| 
 | |
|       In this file, there is a line setting the `DocumentRoot`_ directive:
 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: apache
 | |
| 
 | |
|          DocumentRoot /var/www/html
 | |
| 
 | |
|       And the *welcome* page is the HTML file at ``/var/www/html/index.html``.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    .. group-tab:: Arch Linux
 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|          less /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 | |
| 
 | |
|       In this file, there is a line setting the `DocumentRoot`_ directive:
 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: apache
 | |
| 
 | |
|          DocumentRoot "/srv/http"
 | |
|          <Directory "/srv/http">

|              Require all granted
 | |
|          </Directory>
 | |
| 
 | |
|       The *welcome* page of Arch Linux is a page showing the directory located
 | |
|       at ``DocumentRoot``.  This *directory* page is generated by the Module
 | |
|       `mod_autoindex <https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_autoindex.html>`_:
 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: apache
 | |
| 
 | |
|          LoadModule autoindex_module modules/mod_autoindex.so

 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|          less /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 | |
| 
 | |
|       In this file, there is a line setting the ``DocumentRoot`` directive:
 | |
| 
 | |
|       .. code:: apache
 | |
| 
 | |
|           DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"

 | |
|               Require all granted
 | |
|           </Directory>
 | |
| 
 | |
|       On fresh installations, the ``/var/www`` is empty and the *default
 | |
|       welcome page* is shown, the configuration is located at::
 | |
| 
 | |
|         less /etc/httpd/conf.d/welcome.conf

 | |
| Debian's Apache layout
 | |
| ----------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Be aware, Debian's Apache layout is quite different from the standard Apache
 | |
| configuration.  For details look at the apache2.README.Debian_
 | |
| (``/usr/share/doc/apache2/README.Debian.gz``).  Some commands you should know on
 | |
| Debian:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * :man:`apache2ctl`:  Apache HTTP server control interface
 | |
| * :man:`a2enmod`, :man:`a2dismod`: switch on/off modules
 | |
| * :man:`a2enconf`, :man:`a2disconf`: switch on/off configurations
 | |
| * :man:`a2ensite`, :man:`a2dissite`: switch on/off sites
 | |

 | |
| Apache layout`.

 | |
|       available* folder at ``/etc/apache2/sites-available``.  To enable the

 | |
| 
 | |
|       Create configuration at ``/etc/httpd/sites-available`` and place a

| 
 | |
|    Use mod_proxy_uwsgi_ / don't use the old mod_uwsgi_ anymore.
 | |
| 
 | |
| To proxy the incoming requests to the SearXNG instance Apache needs the
 | |
| mod_proxy_ module (:ref:`apache modules`).
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. sidebar:: HTTP headers
 | |
| 
 | |
|    With ProxyPreserveHost_ the incoming ``Host`` header is passed to the proxied
 | |
|    host.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Depending on what your SearXNG installation is listening on, you need a http
 | |
| mod_proxy_http_) or socket (mod_proxy_uwsgi_) communication to upstream.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The :ref:`installation scripts` installs the :ref:`reference setup
 | |
| <use_default_settings.yml>` and a :ref:`uwsgi setup` that listens on a socket by default.
 | |
| You can install and activate your own ``searxng.conf`` like shown in

| disable logs
 | |
| ============
 | |
| 
 | |
| For better privacy you can disable Apache logs.  In the examples above activate
 | |
| one of the lines and `restart apache`_:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code:: apache
 | |
| 
 | |
|    SetEnvIf Request_URI "/searxng" dontlog
 | |
|    # CustomLog /dev/null combined env=dontlog
 | |
| 
 | |
| The ``CustomLog`` directive disables logs for the entire (virtual) server, use it
 | |
| when the URL of the service does not have a path component (``/searxng``), so when
 | |
| SearXNG is located at root (``/``).
 |
