API using unix socket

[sergejostir]

Would it be possible to add an option to expose unix socket instead of binding httpd to a port? I will only access API from local services and it's kinda a chore to occupy additional ports for that.

Other services like MySQL, Docker daemon, etc all support being accessed using unix sockets instead of TCP connections.

This is a good suggestion thank you. I'll give a try

This should work now, you case set a bind_address such as this one:

"bind_address": "/tmp/sftpgo.sock"

I tested both http and https using curl as client: curl -k -v --unix-socket /tmp/sftpgo.sock http://sock/healthz
