NGINX Unit - universal web app server - a lightweight and versatile open source server that simplifies the application stack by natively executing application code across eight different programming language runtimes.
Can unitctl enable an "auto reload" workflow for app development without additional scripting?
When I'm working on a Phoenix application (I'm aware the underlying language is not supported - just giving an example of the experience). Basic flow is:
Start the server mix phx.server
Initial compile and serve
The process lets me know it is watching for changes
Change something in one of the source files
Rebuild, I can now interact with my application and it will reflect the latest changes.
There are some caveats - certain files to require a full restart based on framework minutiae.
Example output:

It would be cool if I could follow a similar workflow with unitctl where it finds the system filewatcher and watches project files.
This is a feature request!
