ok tested with a wrt3200acm it's faster than r7800 don't know why... and can confirm that it does work
Hope one day Lede will be totally on nginx and uhttpd comes past.
If this was to be done, some work on LuCI would have to occur in order to garnish the benefits of an asynchronous web server.
With nginx being 10x the size of uhttpd this is unlikely to happen in the forseeable future.

anyway just as a info, all the pr needed to fix luci problem with uwsgi are getting merged (waiting for the ddns module optimizzation)
it's 10 days that i use nginx+uwsgi with a r7800 and a wrt3200 with no problem. Can someone go to the uwsgi pr (and ddns script pr) and ask for merge so that we can test this with more people?
@jow that's right for router with small flash, but newer router have at least 20 mb of flash, so use nginx instead of uhttpd is not a problem.
Especially if people use webserver for something more than just Luci i.e. verification free certs from LE is just is just a line in nginx config 
, owncloud, simple web hosting etc.
Some time ago I've even added headers_more addon for nginx and patch for footer in static pages so now it's harder to check on which webserver website is hosted 
Edit: Headers_more dirty patch
Maybe these files shoud be copied during install and package should have option like "Integrate nginx with Luci"?
And init.d script for complete package 
and maybe luci.conf.example file with nginx server{} block config?
yes i will create a package that will do this... ibut first we need uwsgi to be pushed...

this got merged and also the luci fix so if someone wants to test it... just use this 2 config
nginx.conf modify to respect your needs (for cert position for example) (or to disable https or http)

According to your profile, I have another issue
If I use fastwrap, I will get another error
1 upstream prematurely closed FastCGI stdout while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.2.138, server: localhost, request: "GET /cgi-bin/luci HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:12345", host: "192.168.2.1", referrer: "http://192.168.2.1/
It's not fcgi in nginx
Check my nginx config
Uwsgi module should be compiled by default in nginx
Yes, I know, I have tried two ways to make luci on nginx.
- uwsgi, same uwsgi.ini and nginx.conf. I get the error shown in the pic, can't open cgi_plugin.so
- fcgi way according to that chinese website
Cgi plugin is not an error as cgi plugin is built-in
Now I'm using your makefile, it's OK now. Thank you!

i'd like so much to have nginx on my 7800 without fighting with uhttpd
by chance are you thinking about creating a specific package like to install all is needed for luci under nginx and remove uhhtpd?
