I became a brave and tried installing Cherokee from the most recent snap package.
pkg_add completed without whining and gave me instructions for modding the rc* files. First up I just started the server from a console. No problem - saw the default page. Read some docs - saw that they strongly suggested using their admin tool, so fired it up and that's where my problems started. I could see that I was connecting to port 9090 but I got a 503 error anyway. The favicon was there but nothing else. Running the admin server with debug log to console showed me that it was missing python2.5. Funny, that's not in the dependencies. pkg_add fixed that, and I could get around the pages. On the status page, though, there was no graph. I know the original pkg install pulled in rrdtool and I guessed that was for such things but my debug console complained that it couldn't find /var/db/cherookee/graphs/server.rrd. So I took a guess and touch'ed it into life and gave it _cherokee:wheel as owner:group and now it complains that "reading the cookie off" that file "failed". I'm out of guesses. The website does not deal with dependencies very well, although it does mention python. I think we have some added packaging work to do. Anybody experienced with Cherokee care to give us a clue?
