[QE-users] running Hartree-Fock calculation

Hello, I need to run a Hartree Fock calculation on silicon.
I looked at few previous posts describing how to run HF in QE, and I
understood that you should set

exx_fraction = 1

However, without setting also input_dft it does not seem to perform EXX
calculation.
I am using the following input file. Does this correspond to Hartree Fock
calculation ?

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
&control
   prefix = 'si'
   calculation = 'scf'
   restart_mode = 'from_scratch'
   tstress = .false.
   tprnfor = .false.
   pseudo_dir = '/home/jacopo/Documents/q-e-qe-6.5/pseudo'
   outdir = './'
/
&system
   ibrav = 0
   celldm(1) = 10.2612
   nat = 2
   ntyp = 1
   nbnd = 10
   ecutwfc = 25.0
   occupations = 'fixed'
   exx_fraction = 1
   input_dft = 'HF+noc'

&electrons
   electron_maxstep = 100
   conv_thr = 1.0d-10

   diago_david_ndim = 4
