## 2. Web Server (Nginx)

- **Service:** `nginx.service` (active, enabled)
- **Main Config:** `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf` (standard Debian config with `server_tokens off;` enabled)
- **Active Virtual Hosts (`/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/`):**
  1. **`default` (`-> /etc/nginx/sites-available/default`)**:
     - Port 80 `default_server` (`server_name _;`): serves `/var/www/html` and includes `/etc/nginx/default.d/*.conf`.
     - Port 443 SSL (`server_name www.miguelpedro.xyz.br miguelpedro.xyz.br;`): serves `/var/www/html` using Let's Encrypt certificate `miguelpedro.xyz.br`.
     - Port 80 redirect block for `miguelpedro.xyz.br` and `www.miguelpedro.xyz.br` (301 to HTTPS).
     - *Note:* `/etc/nginx/sites-available/default.bak` also exists as a backup prior to SearXNG setup.
  2. **`searxng.conf` (`-> /etc/nginx/sites-available/searxng.conf`)**:
     - Port 443 SSL (`server_name searx.miguelpedro.xyz.br;`):
       - Privacy logging: `access_log /dev/null;` and `error_log /dev/null;`
       - Security headers: `X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN"`, `X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff"`, `Referrer-Policy "no-referrer"`, `Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"`.
       - Proxies `location /` via `uwsgi_pass unix:///usr/local/searxng/run/socket;` with `HTTP_HOST`, `HTTP_CONNECTION`, `HTTP_X_SCHEME`, `HTTP_X_REAL_IP`, and `HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR`.
     - Port 80 redirect block for `searx.miguelpedro.xyz.br` (301 to HTTPS).
  3. **`miguelpedro.xyz.br` (`-> /etc/nginx/sites-available/miguelpedro.xyz.br`)**:
     - Port 80 stub with `server_name example.com www.example.com;` pointing to `/var/www/miguelpedro.xyz.br/html` (currently an empty directory, while the active `miguelpedro.xyz.br` site is served from `sites-available/default`).
- **Default App Includes (`/etc/nginx/default.d/`):**
  - `/etc/nginx/default.d/searxng.conf -> /etc/nginx/default.apps-available/searxng.conf` (created by SearXNG's official installation script, exposing `location /searxng` on the default server block).

## 3. SearXNG, uWSGI & Valkey

SearXNG was installed using the official SearXNG installation script (`utils/searxng.sh`), running natively via `uwsgi` and backed by `valkey-server`.

### System User & Environment
- **User/Group:** `searxng` (`UID=988`, `GID=988`, home `/usr/local/searxng`, shell `/bin/bash`, member of `sudo` group).
- **Profile:** `/usr/local/searxng/.profile` automatically activates `/usr/local/searxng/searx-pyenv/bin/activate`.
- **Source Repository:** `/usr/local/searxng/searxng-src`
  - Git remote: `https://github.com/searxng/searxng` (`master` branch, commit `b5ed73fcb6c6bda5d4e8b13d1472aa3917f784dc`).
- **Virtualenv:** `/usr/local/searxng/searx-pyenv`

### SearXNG Configuration (`/etc/searxng/`)
- **`/etc/searxng/settings.yml`** (`0640`, `searxng:searxng`):
  - `use_default_settings: true`
  - `general`: `debug: false`, `instance_name: "SearXNG"`
  - `search`: `safe_search: 0`, `autocomplete: "duckduckgo"`, `formats: [html, json]`
  - `server`: `secret_key` (32-char hex), `limiter: true`, `image_proxy: true`, `base_url: https://searx.miguelpedro.xyz.br/`
  - `valkey`: `url: valkey://localhost:6379/0`
- **`/etc/searxng/limiter.toml`** (`0644`, `searxng:searxng`):
  - Configures `[botdetection]` with `ipv4_prefix = 32`, `ipv6_prefix = 48`, `trusted_proxies = ['127.0.0.0/8', '::1']`, and `pass_searxng_org = true`.

### Application Server (uWSGI)
- **Service:** `uwsgi.service` (SysV/LSB service via `/etc/init.d/uwsgi`, configured by `/etc/default/uwsgi`).
- **App Config:** `/etc/uwsgi/apps-enabled/searxng.ini -> /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/searxng.ini`
  - Runs as `uid = searxng`, `gid = searxng`
  - `chdir = /usr/local/searxng/searxng-src/searx`
  - `env = SEARXNG_SETTINGS_PATH=/etc/searxng/settings.yml`
  - `disable-logging = true`, `chmod-socket = 666`
  - `plugin = python3,http`, `workers = %k`, `threads = 4`, `offload-threads = %k`
  - `module = searx.webapp`
  - `virtualenv = /usr/local/searxng/searx-pyenv`
  - `pythonpath = /usr/local/searxng/searxng-src`
  - `socket = /usr/local/searxng/run/socket`

### Key-Value Store (Valkey)
- **Service:** `valkey-server.service` (active, enabled; aliased as `valkey.service`).
- **Config:** `/etc/valkey/valkey.conf` (bound to `127.0.0.1` and `-::1` on port `6379`, data dir `/var/lib/valkey`).

---

## 4. TLS/SSL & Firewall State

### TLS / Certbot
- **Packages:** `certbot`, `python3-certbot-nginx`
- **Timer:** `certbot.timer` (active, runs twice daily) and `/etc/cron.d/certbot`.
- **Certificates (`/etc/letsencrypt/live/`):**
  1. `miguelpedro.xyz.br` (Domains: `miguelpedro.xyz.br`, `www.miguelpedro.xyz.br` | Key Type: ECDSA | Authenticator/Installer: `nginx`)
  2. `searx.miguelpedro.xyz.br` (Domains: `searx.miguelpedro.xyz.br` | Key Type: ECDSA | Authenticator/Installer: `nginx`)
- **Shared Nginx TLS Configs:** `/etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf` and `/etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem`.

### Firewall & Network
- **Listening Public Ports:**
  - `22/tcp` (IPv4 & IPv6) — OpenSSH (`sshd`)
  - `80/tcp` (IPv4 & IPv6) — Nginx HTTP
  - `443/tcp` (IPv4 & IPv6) — Nginx HTTPS
- **Listening Loopback Ports:**
  - `6379/tcp` (`127.0.0.1` & `::1`) — Valkey Server
- **Firewall State:**
  - `ufw` and `iptables` are **not installed**.
  - `nftables` (`/usr/sbin/nft`) is installed, with default empty tables in `/etc/nftables.conf`, and `nftables.service` is currently **disabled/inactive (dead)** (`nft list ruleset` is empty).
