I have not tried to do what you're doing, but I note that .socket units
can have the options:

SocketUser
SocketGroup
SocketMode

so can these be used to create the socket with ownership of user and
read/write to system nginx?

I am not sure about the idea of running one nginx process per active
user, about wehther that would be scalable, but I guess it is still more
scalabvle than running a container or a VM per user.

Thanks,
