NGINX Unit is a lightweight and versatile application runtime that provides the essential components for your web application as a single open-source server: running application code, serving static assets, handling TLS and request routing.
For more information, check out Key Features.
Please see Unit's website for details.
Please check the Initial Configuration section on Unit's website. Additionally, our Docker howto can be of help.
The unit images come in many flavors, each designed for a specific use case.
unit:<version>This is the defacto image. If you are unsure about what your needs are, you probably want to use this one. It is designed to be used both as a throw away container (mount your source code and start the container to start your app), as well as the base to build other images off of.
unit:<version>-slimThis image does not contain the common packages contained in the default tag and only contains the minimal packages needed to run unit. Unless you are working in an environment where only the unit image will be deployed and you have space constraints, we highly recommend using the default image of this repository.

Some additional license information which was able to be auto-detected might be found in the repo-info repository's unit/ directory.
As for any pre-built image usage, it is the image user's responsibility to ensure that any use of this image complies with any relevant licenses for all software contained within.
