Mounting a Django project with unix socket

Question

Assuming I will use gunicorn to mount a django application:

How can I bind to both localhost:8000 AND to a unix socket?
How can I distinguish whether the request (in a view) is coming from the unix socket?

You could use something like Gunicorn to listen on both a UNIX socket and a TCP port.

In order to distinguish between the two in your views, I'd simply run two processes - One that listens on the TCP port and one for the UNIX socket. When starting said process, specify an environment variable which you can later access in your view.

sounds good, and cleaner. I was planning to use gunicorn. how do I bind a unix socket with gunicorn?

See this link: docs.gunicorn.org/en/latest/run.html?highlight=unix - basically just pass unix:/path/to/socket instead of the regular host:port syntax.
