**Web Server and Configuration**
The default web server used by Galaxy has changed from Paste to `uWSGI <https://uwsgi-docs.readthedocs.io/>`__ and the default configuration file for Galaxy is now ``config/galaxy.yml`` instead of ``config/galaxy.ini``.
uWSGI is more production ready and allows Galaxy to scale better in its default
configuration. In the future uWSGI will allow Galaxy to setup GIE proxies without additional
configuration and use modern web technologies such as web sockets.
Read more about the server, configuration, and documentation changes in the `uWSGI details`_ section of this document.
To minimize the impact of this change on existing Galaxy instances, if a Galaxy has a ``galaxy.ini`` file configured, it will continue to use Paste by default unless additional steps are taken by the administrator.

=============
To minimize the impact of this change on existing Galaxy instances, if a Galaxy has a ``galaxy.ini``
file configured, it will continue to use Paste by default unless additional steps are
taken by the administrator (Galaxy can be forced to start under uWSGI even with an older configuration file
by setting ``APP_WEBSERVER=uwsgi`` in the environment). As part of the transition to YAML-based
Galaxy can be forced to start under uWSGI even with an older configuration file
by setting ``APP_WEBSERVER=uwsgi`` in the environment. As part of the transition to YAML-based
configuration files, we have implemented a schema to validate Galaxy configuration files. Run
``make config-validate`` from Galaxy's root directory to validate a schema and ``make config-lint`` to
check for best practices. While there is no need to convert your configuration file (``galaxy.ini`` hasn't
been deprecated), you can run ``make config-convert-dry-run`` and ``make config-convert``
to respectively test and perform the conversion of an ``ini`` configuration file to a YAML one.
In the future uWSGI will allow Galaxy to setup GIE proxies without additional configuration and use modern web technologies such as web sockets.
These are big changes that affect many parts of Galaxy's administration documentation and makes
this documentation very dependent on which Galaxy version they are targeting. To address this, we have
moved a significant amount of administration documentation into Galaxy's code
