In the current code, the upload function is disabled as it does not
work well with files larger than 500MB.
When trying to upload a file with 500MB the browser stops responding
and after some time it crashes.
 From a quick investigation, I identified it happens prior to send
the data to server:

      var uploadFile = function() {
          var blobFile = $(localFileBox)[0].files[0];
          var fileName = blobFile.name;
          var fd = new FormData();
          fd.append('name', fileName);
          *fd.append('file', blobFile)*
          ....
      }

We need check if there is a way to solve it on UI by changing the
data structure or how it is loaded or think about a solution involving
backend.

No - we don't have plans for that.
In fact, nginx only works as a reverse proxy in Kimchi. The web server 
is cherrypy.

Why would you want a different web server?
