Subject: Make Worker#user support different process primary group and log file group
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2018 12:24:49 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180913192449.GE48926@jeremyevans.local> (raw)

This patch allows Worker#user to accept the group argument as an array
of two strings, the first string being the process primary group, and
the second string being the group that owns the log files.  This can
help when you have a large number of applications that use unique
primary groups, and want to have a user with the ability to read the log
files for any of the applications, especially if you are on an operating
system that only supports a small number of groups per user.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Subject: [PATCH] Make Worker#user support different process primary group and
 log file group

Previously, Unicorn always used the process's primary group as the
the group of the log file.  However, there are reasons to use a
separate group for the log files, such as when you have many
applications where each application uses it's own user and primary
group, but you want to be able to have a user read the log files
for all applications.  Some operating systems have a fairly small
limit on the number of groups per user, and it may not be feasible
to have a user be in the primary group for all applications.
