Cherokee is an open-source cross-platform web server that runs on Linux, BSD variants, Solaris, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows. It is a lightweight,[4] high-performance[5] web server/reverse proxy licensed under the GNU General Public License. Its goal is to be fast and fully functional yet still light. Major features of Cherokee include a graphical administration interface named cherokee-admin, and a modular light-weight design.
Independent tests have shown Cherokee to be better performing than Apache[6][7] when serving up both static and dynamic content.
Cherokee is maintained and developed by an open source community.[8] Debian provides official packages of Cherokee.[9]
