Nginx Unit archived: likely no further development; security vulnerabilities may be unaddressed

Desired Behavior

Switch back to Gunicorn?

Contrast to Current Behavior

I noticed that Nginx Unit is used which states:

NGINX Unit no longer receives new features or enhancements from the project maintainers.

Also, https://github.com/nginx/unit was archived on 2025-10-08.

Required Changes

https://netboxlabs.com/docs/netbox/installation/4a-gunicorn/

Discussion: Benefits and Drawbacks

The switch from Gunicorn to Nginx Unit was made in #361. Switching back to Gunicorn would also align more closely with NetBox installation docs.

With Gunicorn we can't serve the static out of the box; I've already started some tests with Granian in this branch: https://github.com/tobiasge/netbox-docker/tree/granian-test
