If Apache_ is not installed, install it now. If apache_ is new to you, the
 | 
						|
`Getting Started`_, `Configuration Files`_ and `Terms Used to Describe
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
`Apache directives`_ *to keep in the pocket*.

Apache Reverse Proxy
 | 
						|
====================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. sidebar:: public to the internet?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   If your searx instance is public, stop here and first install :ref:`filtron
 | 
						|
   reverse proxy <filtron.sh>` and :ref:`result proxy morty <morty.sh>`, see
 | 
						|
   :ref:`installation scripts`.  If already done, follow setup: *searx via
 | 
						|
   filtron plus morty*.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To setup a Apache revers proxy you have to enable the *headers* and *proxy*
 | 
						|
modules and create a `Location`_ configuration for the searx site.  In most
 | 
						|
distributions you have to un-comment the lines in the main configuration file,
 | 
						|
except in :ref:`The Debian Layout`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. tabs::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      In the Apache setup, enable headers and proxy modules:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: sh
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         sudo -H a2enmod headers
 | 
						|
         sudo -H a2enmod proxy
 | 
						|
         sudo -H a2enmod proxy_http
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      In :ref:`The Debian Layout` you create a ``searx.conf`` with the
 | 
						|
      ``<Location /searx >`` directive and save this file in the *sites
 | 
						|
      available* folder at ``/etc/apache2/sites-available``.  To enable the
 | 
						|
      ``searx.conf`` use :man:`a2ensite`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: sh
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         sudo -H a2ensite searx.conf
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. group-tab:: Arch Linux
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      In the ``/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`` file, activate headers and proxy
 | 
						|
      modules (LoadModule_):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: apache
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	 FIXME needs test
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
 | 
						|
         LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
 | 
						|
         LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. group-tab::  Fedora / RHEL
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      In the ``/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf`` file, activate headers and proxy
 | 
						|
      modules (LoadModule_):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: apache
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	 FIXME needs test
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	 LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
 | 
						|
         LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
 | 
						|
         LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
With ProxyPreserveHost_ the incoming Host HTTP request header is passed to the
 | 
						|
proxied host.

.. _apache searx via filtron plus morty:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. tabs::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. group-tab:: searx via filtron plus morty
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      Use this setup, if your instance is public to the internet, compare
 | 
						|
      figure: :ref:`architecture <arch public>` and :ref:`installation scripts`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      1. Configure a reverse proxy for :ref:`filtron <filtron.sh>`, listening on
 | 
						|
         *localhost 4004* (:ref:`filtron route request`):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: apache
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         <Location /searx >
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
             # SetEnvIf Request_URI "/searx" dontlog
 | 
						|
             # CustomLog /dev/null combined env=dontlog
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
             Require all granted
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
             Order deny,allow
 | 
						|
             Deny from all
 | 
						|
             #Allow from fd00::/8 192.168.0.0/16 fe80::/10 127.0.0.0/8 ::1
 | 
						|
             Allow from all
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
             ProxyPreserveHost On
 | 
						|
             ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:4004
 | 
						|
             RequestHeader set X-Script-Name /searx
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         </Location>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      2. Configure reverse proxy for :ref:`morty <searx morty>`, listening on
 | 
						|
      *localhost 3000*
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: apache
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         ProxyPreserveHost On
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         <Location /morty >
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
             # SetEnvIf Request_URI "/morty" dontlog
 | 
						|
             # CustomLog /dev/null combined env=dontlog
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
             Require all granted
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
             Order deny,allow
 | 
						|
             Deny from all
 | 
						|
             #Allow from fd00::/8 192.168.0.0/16 fe80::/10 127.0.0.0/8 ::1
 | 
						|
             Allow from all
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
             ProxyPass http://127.0.0.1:3000
 | 
						|
             RequestHeader set X-Script-Name /morty
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         </Location>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      For a fully result proxification add :ref:`morty's <searx morty>` **public
 | 
						|
      URL** to your :origin:`searx/settings.yml`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         result_proxy:
 | 
						|
             # replace example.org with your server's public name
 | 
						|
             url : https://example.org/morty
 | 
						|
             key : !!binary "insert_your_morty_proxy_key_here"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         server:
 | 
						|
             image_proxy : True
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
uWSGI support
 | 
						|
=============
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Be warned, with this setup, your instance isn't :ref:`protected <searx
 | 
						|
filtron>`, nevertheless it is good enough for intranet usage.  In modern Linux
 | 
						|
distributions, the `mod_proxy_uwsgi`_ is compiled into the *normal* apache
 | 
						|
package and you need to install only the :ref:`uWSGI <searx uwsgi>` package:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. tabs::
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: sh
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         sudo -H apt-get install uwsgi
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         # Ubuntu =< 18.04
 | 
						|
         sudo -H apt-get install libapache2-mod-proxy-uwsgi
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. group-tab:: Arch Linux
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: sh
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         sudo -H pacman -S uwsgi
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   .. group-tab::  Fedora / RHEL
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
      .. code:: sh
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
         sudo -H dnf install uwsgi
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The next example shows a configuration using the `uWSGI Apache support`_ via
 | 
						|
unix sockets and `mod_proxy_uwsgi`_.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For socket communication, you have to activate ``socket =
 | 
						|
/run/uwsgi/app/searx/socket`` and comment out the ``http = 127.0.0.1:8888``
 | 
						|
configuration in your :ref:`uwsgi ini file <uwsgi configuration>`.  If not
 | 
						|
already exists, create a folder for the unix sockets, which can be used by the
 | 
						|
searx account (see :ref:`create searx user`):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
.. code:: bash
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   sudo -H mkdir -p /run/uwsgi/app/searx/
 | 
						|
   sudo -H chown -R searx:searx /run/uwsgi/app/searx/
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If the server is public; to limit access to your intranet replace ``Allow from
 | 
						|
all`` directive and replace ``192.168.0.0/16`` with your subnet IP/class.

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

The Debian Layout
 | 
						|
=================
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Be aware that the Debian layout is quite different from the standard Apache
 | 
						|
configuration.  For details look at the 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
