Sanic: Using a domain socket?

[rcarmo]

I'm trying to put sanic behind nginx using a domain socket. Is this possible at all?

[r0fls]

So you need to expose sanic via a domain socket, right? I don't think that's supported but shouldn't be very hard to add.

You can utilize domain sockets through gunicorn and nginx as shown in gunicorn's documentation:

http://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/deploy.html

Refer to our docs for how to run a sanic application through gunicorn

Gunicorn loads the class and creates a TCP listener as well. I need to use an existing setup that relies on domain sockets alone...

[rcarmo]

Right. Am willing to test and provide reference configs, of course.

[r0fls]

ya, i think unix socket support should be separate from wsgi compatibility.

@rcarmo WIP here: https://github.com/channelcat/sanic/pull/742

[rcarmo]

nice, will check ASAP.

@rcarmo I'm merging that as-is for now since I've tested it to work locally. However I may add more to it to make it more user friendly so the usage could break/change.

How about use create_unix_server when host or port passed as unix:///xxx.sock?
