nginx or apache?

There are others. This may be moot because I don't have the resources
for a Devuan mirror anyway (just a home DSL line), but I use lighttpd.

Do I guess correctly that every web server would have to be configured
completely differently and that it's a mug's game to try and handle all
these possibilities in one document?

The rumour mill for the past few years suggests that apache is
overcomplicated and thus vulnerable. Is this an issue? Or are the
complications actually needed for something like setting up a distro?

And is this also true for nginx? I haven't heard much about that one.
