</aside>
<p>To proxy the incoming requests to the SearXNG instance Apache needs the
<a class="reference external" href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html">mod_proxy</a> module (<a class="reference internal" href="#apache-modules"><span class="std std-ref">Apache modules</span></a>).</p>

host.</p>
</aside>
<p>Depending on what your SearXNG installation is listening on, you need a http
<a class="reference external" href="https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy_http.html">mod_proxy_http</a>) or socket (<a class="reference external" href="https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Apache.html#mod-proxy-uwsgi">mod_proxy_uwsgi</a>) communication to upstream.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="installation-scripts.html#installation-scripts"><span class="std std-ref">Installation Script</span></a> installs the <a class="reference internal" href="installation-searxng.html#use-default-settings-yml"><span class="std std-ref">reference setup</span></a> and a <a class="reference internal" href="installation-uwsgi.html#uwsgi-setup"><span class="std std-ref">uWSGI setup</span></a> that listens on a socket by default.
You can install and activate your own <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searxng.conf</span></code> like shown in
