+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:: sh
+
+ sudo -H apt-get install apache2
+
+ .. group-tab:: Arch Linux
+
+ .. code:: sh
+
+ sudo -H pacman -S apache
+ sudo -H systemctl enable httpd
+ sudo -H systemctl start http
+
+ .. group-tab:: Fedora / RHEL
+
+ .. code:: sh
+
+ sudo -H dnf install httpd
+ sudo -H systemctl enable httpd
+ sudo -H systemctl start httpd
+
+Now at http://localhost you should see any kind of *Welcome* or *Test* page.
+How this default intro site is configured, depends on the linux distribution
+(compare `Apache directives`_).
+
+.. tabs::
+
+ .. group-tab:: Ubuntu / debian
+
+ .. code:: sh
+
+ 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:: sh
+
+ 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">
+ Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
+ AllowOverride None
+ Require all granted
+ </Directory>
+
+ The *welcome* page of Arch Linux is a page showing directory located at
+ ``DocumentRoot``. This is *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
+ ...
+ Include conf/extra/httpd-autoindex.conf
+
+ .. group-tab:: Fedora / RHEL
+
+ .. code:: sh
+
+ less /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
+
+ In this file, there is a line setting the ``DocumentRoot`` directive:
+
+ .. code:: apache
+
+ DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
+ ...
+ <Directory "/var/www">
+ AllowOverride None
+ # Allow open access:
+ 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
+
+.. _The Debian Layout:
+
+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
+
+
+.. _apache searx site:
+
+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 uncomment the lines in the main configuration file,
+except in the :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
+
+ 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
+
+ LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
+ LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
+ LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
+
+.. 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* (FYI: ``ProxyPreserveHost On`` is already set, see
+ above):
+
+ .. 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>
+
+ Note that reverse proxy advised to be used in case of single-user or
+ low-traffic instances. 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
+
+ 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 and it
+demonstrates: *how different the uwsgi support is, depending on the
+distribution*. To enable :ref:`uWSGI <searx uwsgi>` support you need to install
+the apache `apache uwsgi`_ support:
