Cherokee is an open-source, cross-platform, web server that runs on Linux, BSD variants, Solaris, OS X, and Windows. It is a lightweight,[5] high-performance[6] 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.

Cherokee is maintained and developed by an open source community.[7]

Web server features

[edit]

Configuration wizards are provided to automatically configure the web server to perform specific tasks, or run frameworks and applications. These provide support for: PHP through FastCGI, Ruby on Rails, ColdFusion, GlassFish, Django, Alfresco, GNU Mailman, .NET with Mono, rTorrent, Symfony, and Zend Engine, plus generic Video Streaming and uWSGI.[14]

Devices running Cherokee

[edit]

During the last few years[as of?] Cherokee has been adopted by numerous electronic device makes and IoT technology manufacturers. Some examples include GoPro action cameras and drones,[15] Xiaomi action cameras, Digi International's Internet of things kits,[16] ATN Corporation's high-end rifle scopes,[17] and Defender's security cameras.[18] Since Cherokee is Open Source Software and does not require manufacturers to license the code, there is no way to know how many companies are embedding Cherokee in their products.
