Settings

This is the configuration page for YaCy. Access to this page should be limited to an administration person only. To restrict the access to this page, please set an administrator account and password below.

If you want to restore all settings to the default values, but forgot your administration password, you must stop the proxy, delete the file 'DATA/SETTINGS/httpProxy.conf' in the YaCy application root folder and start YaCy again.

Administration Account Settings

This is the account that restricts access to this 'Settings' page. If you have not customized it yet, you should do so now:

Account Name:      
Password:
Password (repeat same as above):


General Settings

Peer Name: Your peer name defines also a new '.yacy' - domain, which can be accessed from every peer running this proxy. Using your 'Home Page' and 'File Share' - zones you also have a platform to provide content to your new domain.
(hint: Choose a name that appears on a web page that tells something about you, visit the page, get the 'senior' status, and you can be found...)


Proxy Access Settings
Proxy and Administration Port: Changes will take effect after restart only.

You can restrict the access to this proxy using a two-stage security barrier:


This is the account that restricts access to the proxy function. You probably don't want to share the proxy to the internet, so you should set the IP-Number Access Domain to a pattern that corresponds to you local intranet. The default setting should be right in most cases. If you want, you can also set a proxy account so that every proxy user must authenticate first, but this is rather unusual.

Password (repeat same as above):


HTTP Networking
Transparent Proxy: With this you can specify if YaCy can be used as transparent proxy.
Hint: On linux you can configure your firewall to transparently redirect all http traffic through yacy using this iptables rule:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 192.168.0.0/16 --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.1:#[port]#
Connection Keep-Alive: With this you can specify if YaCy should support the HTTP connection keep-alive feature.
 Changes will take effect immediately.

Remote Proxy (optional)

YaCy can use another proxy to connect to the internet. You can enter the address for the remote proxy here:

Remote proxy host:
Remote proxy port:
no-proxy adresses:
Use remote proxy:


Server Access Settings

Here you can restrict access to the server. By default, the access is not limited, because this function is needed to spawn the p2p index-sharing function. If you block access to your server (setting anything else than '*'), then you will also be blocked from using other peers' indexes for search service. However, blocking access may be correct in enterprise environments where you only want to index your company's own web pages.

ATTENTION: Your current IP is recognized as "#[clientIP]#". If the value you enter here does not match with this IP, you will not be able to access the server pages anymore

System Behaviour Settings
Auto pop-up of status page on start-up: /

Seed Upload Settings

With these settings you can configure if you have an account on a public accessible server where you can host a seed-list file.

General Settings:

If you enable one of the available uploading methods, you will become a principal peer. Your peer will then upload the seed-bootstrap information periodically, but only if there had been changes to the seed-list.

Upload Method: Here you can specify which upload method should be used. Select 'none' to deactivate uploading.
URL: The URL that can be used to retrieve the uploaded seed file, like http://www.<my-host>.net/yacy/seed.txt'
#{seedUploadMethods}# #%[file]%# #{/seedUploadMethods}#

Content Parser Settings

With this settings you can activate or deactivate parsing of additional content-types based on their MIME-types.
For a detailed description of the various MIME-types take a look at http://www.iana.org/assignments/media-types/
