We're very actively working on improving Unit's UX/DX along those lines. Our official Docker images will pick up and read configuration files from `/docker-entrypoint.d/`, so you can bind mount your config into your container and you should be off to the races. More details at https://unit.nginx.org/installation/#initial-configuration

But that's still kinda rough, so we're also overhauling our tooling, including a new (and very much still-in-development) `unitctl` CLI which you can find at https://github.com/nginx/unit/tree/master/tools/unitctl. With unitctl today, you can manually run something like `unitctl --wait-timeout-seconds=3 --wait-max-tries=4 import /opt/unit/config` to achieve the same thing, but expect further refinements as we get closer to formally releasing it.

That sounds much better, thanks for the effort.
