+
+Installing SearXNG, Filtron and Morty.
+

+```
+
+Check that both filtron and morty are running.
+
+```sh
+systemctl status filtron

+```
+
+## Configure Nginx
+
+Create a new file `/etc/nginx/sites-available/searxng.conf` and add the
+following:
+
+```nginx
+server {
+
+    # Listens on http
+    listen 80;
+    listen [::]:80;
+
+    # Your server name
+    server_name searx.example.org;
+
+    # If you want to log user activity, comment these
+    access_log /dev/null;
+    error_log  /dev/null;
+
+    # Searx reverse proxy
+    location / {
+            proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:4004/;
+
+            proxy_set_header   Host             $host;
+            proxy_set_header   Connection       $http_connection;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Scheme         $scheme;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Script-Name    /searx;
+    }
+
+    location /searx/static {
+            alias /usr/local/searx/searx-src/searx/static;
+    }
+
+    # Morty reverse proxy
+    location /morty {
+            proxy_pass         http://127.0.0.1:3000/;
+
+            proxy_set_header   Host             $host;
+            proxy_set_header   Connection       $http_connection;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Real-IP        $remote_addr;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Forwarded-For  $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
+            proxy_set_header   X-Scheme         $scheme;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+
+Now create a symbolic link to enable this site.
+
+```sh
+ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/searxng.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/searxng.conf
+```
+
+Restart Nginx and SearXNG.
+
+```sh
+systemctl restart nginx
+service uwsgi restart searx
+```
+
+## Configure HTTPS with Certbot
+
+Install certbot.
+
+```sh
+apt install python3-certbot-nginx
+```
+
+Install a Let\'s Encrypt SSL certificate to Nginx and optionally let it
+configure HTTPS for you. [Detailed instructions and additional information](/basic/certbot).
+
+```sh
+certbot --nginx
+```
+
+SearXNG should now be available from your domain.
+
+## Configuration
+
+You can change settings by editing `/etc/searxng/settings.yml`.
