We're preparing to allow users of the NIH Biowulf cluster to create instances of
gfa-server, but we'd prefer to use Unix sockets rather than TCP ports for better access control. This patch adds support for Unix sockets.Usage to tunnel to a server running gfatools would be as follows:
On the server (running from the
gfatoolsfolder)On the workstation, bind the local port 8000 to the socket at /tmp/test-gfa.sock on the remote server:
Then the gfa-server becomes accessible in the workstation browser at localhost:8000/view
