I need to disable that indexing when I enter on my root directory on a apache2 server, any tips?

sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf
Located this section <Directory /var/www/> in the file
Add a minus to Indexes (Denied)
Add a plus to FollowSymLinks
Result :
<Directory /var/www/>
Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
Works in Raspbian
You'll get the message : "You don't have permission to access "Directory" on this server."
If you have the a2dismod utility on your distro you can remove the module entirely if you don't need directory indexes at all:
sudo a2dismod --force autoindex
Use the --force or -f flag to avoid the following warning:
WARNING: The following essential module will be disabled.
This might result in unexpected behavior and should NOT be done
unless you know exactly what you are doing!
autoindex
To continue type in the phrase 'Yes, do as I say!' or retry by passing '-f': Yes, do as I say!
Module autoindex disabled.
To activate the new configuration, you need to run:
systemctl restart apache2
Here are the docs for mod_autoindex
