Pass UNIX socket parameters to runserver, and hence to gunicorn

[joefrancia]

I'd prefer to have Gunicorn serve requests from a UNIX socket instead of via HTTP. Is this something that can be added to a near future version of Superset?

You can add your own thin wrapper for gunicorn, runserver is not much more than that https://github.com/airbnb/superset/blob/master/superset/cli.py#L61

Right. You can issue your own gunicorn command or hook up whatever else wsgi server and configure is however you prefer

Thanks for your replies. While it's not very challenging to create a Gunicorn startup script to allow Superset to be served from a socket, I think it's a common enough set up to warrant having runserver (or the Superset config file) accept a path to a UNIX socket for the sake of consistency and simplicity. So I've added a pull request: #2627
