Hello,

I would like to propose to harden nginx.service with systems configurations, 
and this change uses PrivateDevices=yes, PrivateTmp=yes and ProtectSystem=full 
configs. And here are excerpts from man systemd.exec man page.

PrivateDevices=yes
sets up a new /dev mount for the executed processes and only adds API pseudo 
devices such as /dev/null, /dev/zero or /dev/random (as well as the pseudo TTY 
subsystem) to it, but no physical devices such as /dev/sda, system memory 
/dev/mem, system ports /dev/port and others

PrivateTmp=yes
sets up a new file system namespace for the executed processes and mounts 
private /tmp and /var/tmp directories inside it that is not shared by processes 
outside of the namespace

ProtectSystem=full
mounts the /usr and /boot directories read-only for processes invoked by this 
unit. If set to "full", the /etc directory is mounted read-only, too

I believe that these configs will harden nginx.service, thus protect OS from 
security bugs in nginx.
