NGINX Unit 1.11.0 has been released

On September 19, 2019, the release of the NGINX Unit 1.11.0 application server took place.
Main features:

• The server includes the capability to serve static content independently without contacting an external HTTP server. As a result, the application server is being transformed into a fully-fledged web server service with built-in web service capabilities. To serve content, it is enough to specify the root directory in the settings {
  "share": "\/data\/www\/example.com"
  }

  and if necessary, define any missing MIME types {
  "mime_types": {
  "text\/plain": [
  "readme",
  ".c",
  ".h"
  ],

  "application\/msword": ".doc"
  }
  }

  • Support has been added for process isolation using container isolation tools in Linux. Various namespaces can be activated in the configuration file, group limits can be implemented, or GID\/UID of the isolated environment can be mapped to the main {
    "namespaces": {
    "credential": true,
    "pid": true,
    "network": true,
    "mount": false,
    "uname": true,
    "cgroup": false
    },

    "uidmap": [
    {
    "container": 1000,
    "host": 812,
    "size": 1
    }
    ],

    "gidmap": [
    {
    "container": 1000,
    "host": 812,
    "size": 1
    }
    ]
    }
    

  • A custom WebSocket implementation has been added for JSC servlets.
  • A direct addressing implementation of API settings has been added, containing the character '/', by escaping it with ''. Example:
    GET /config/settings/http/static/mime_types/textplain/
