see a <em>Fedora Webserver - Test Page</em>. The test page comes from the default

<span id="nginx-searxng-site"></span><h2>NGINXs SearXNG site<a class="headerlink" href="#nginx-s-searxng-site" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>Now you have to create a configuration file (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">searxng.conf</span></code>) for the SearXNG
site. If <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.nginx.com/nginx/admin-guide/">nginx</a> is new to you, the <a class="reference external" href="https://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html">nginx beginners guide</a> is a good starting
point and the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/">Getting Started wiki</a> is always a good resource <em>to keep in the
pocket</em>.</p>
<p>Depending on what your SearXNG installation is listening on, you need a http or socket
communication to upstream.</p>
