<p>If everything works fine, hit <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">[CTRL-C]</span></code> to stop the <em>webapp</em> and disable the
debug option in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">settings.yml</span></code>. You can now exit SearXNG user bash session (enter exit
command twice). At this point SearXNG is not demonized; uwsgi allows this.</p>
