Review on Lighttpd by Jason Mitts

Revainrating 4 out of 5

One web server which does almost anything

This webserver is very easy to set up with nginx or apache but I prefer it because of its flexibility. It can handle multiple protocols like HTTP/2, SPDY etc at once. The documentation could be more detailed on some points and also there are not many tutorials out in the wild that cover this specific webserver. So far no problems as such and all features work according to what you configure them as. Maybe add support for TLS 1.3? We have a lot of websites running heavy content (video) so we need something fast.

Pros
  • It is a webserver that you can configure for many protocols at once
Cons
  • I have to set up some features (such as fastcgi) with a lot of work
