[Enhancement]: Add support for launch instance under a unix domain socket.

[xVermillionx]

Type of Enhancement

Server Backend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

To have the possibility of running the server over a Unix socket connection for local communication on the filesystem.

Why would this be helpful?

Unix sockets are a little bit faster and reduce the need of opening ports on a system which is especially nice to use with a reverse proxy as the firewall won't need to be configured for the service.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Customization of the socket_path, socket_name and mode/permissions would be great, maybe via the process.env. variables.

I'm not familiar with this method. Are you able to edit the source of the server and connect via your method?
