If the web request /one/two/thr.ee does not correspond to a file
/docroot/one/two/thr.ee, then you probably want to use "alias"
(http://nginx.org/r/alias) instead of "root".

It's not clear to me what your exact pattern for recognising "static"
vs "dynamic" files is; perhaps something like one of

location /app1/images/ {
alias /home/username/app1/public/images/;
}

(with similar things for the other directories); or

location ~* ^/app1/(images|css|js|files)/(.*) {
alias /home/username/app1/public/$1/$2;
}

or

location ~* ^/app1/(.*.(js|css))$ {
alias /home/username/app1/public/$1;
}

In each case, the "location"s (particularly the regex one) could be
nested within the matching "main" location that you already have.

God luck with it,
