Cherokee is claimed to be the fastest Web server software at present, and is said to be slightly better than Nginx in terms of performance.

Cherokee has a built-in tool named cherokee-admin. After the tool is executed, the administrator can directly manage and configure it through a browser. For example, enable or disable the server, set general options, and configure virtual servers, information sources, icons, Mime types, and other items. In addition, RRD-tool is integrated to generate monitoring data such as server flow table without any configuration.

Sudo apt-get install rrdtool
Sudo apt-get install libcherokee-mod-rrd
Sudo apt-add-repository ppa: cherokee-webserver/ppa

Sudo install cherokee

# Start:

Cherokee Web Service:

Sudo/etc/init. d/cherokee start

Cherokee background management program:

Sudo cherokee-admin-B 192.168.0.1

Replace 192.168.0.1 with the Internet IP address of your host so that you can remotely access the background management interface.

A prompt similar to the following will appear after startup:

Login:
User: admin
One-time Password: lKNmYl9cHO87Z45C

Web Interface:
URL: http: // localhost: 9090/

It will generate a one-time password through which you can log on to the management interface. The password will change every time you restart the management program.

# Background:

Main Interface

Traffic monitoring screen
