Best webserver for a personal onion site?
Apache? Nginx? Lighttpd? Thttpd? Other? What's the most bombproof / least likely to get misconfigured? -- http://dropsafe.crypticide.com/aboutalecm

OpenBSD's httpd or nginx imo. Apache is great (in more than one sense) Lighttpd has had some bad security issues in the past thttpd is fast but configuration is pretty unique in this day & age e.g the way you configure vhosts. Sevan

I use mini_httpd, (which is not OpenBSD's httpd), which might be suitable for minimalistic websites. The configuration can be minimalistic at least. René -- https://rene-ladan.nl/
In my experience I think Nginx is the best choice for all kind, personal but production too. In sharing and training too. Doesn't matter if on high-end servers, netbooks, Rasperry PI or IoT. In the end using other sw require same time also if limited in functions or growth. Very soon I see ppl add it anyway also if they did other choices forcing unwanted complexity.

Unix philosophy --> Do One Thing and Do It Well. My webserver of choice is always sthttpd. For TLS connections use stunnel4. Reverse proxy (if needed) HAproxy. aliasing:
