Description

Any chance or easy hint to get Unix sockets working for a connection?

ArangoDB does support it.

requests doesn't want to support it: Unix domain sockets #2355

Good reasons:

  • Less overhead. No IP stack needed. Connections through sockets are known to be faster compared to TCP.
  • More secure. The application can talk via a local socket in the file system which is not exposed as fast as a listening port by misconfiguration.
  • In Docker you can switch off networking for a container stack if the only IP use is the db connection.

Thanks!
