Status Server as Unix Domain Socket #5

Open seoester opened 5 years ago

The status server only listens on an address:port TCP address. Using a Unix Domain Socket instead would increase security and allow default configuration.

Within the configuration file, either a Unix domain socket or a TCP address could be specified (both?).

Some ideas for default paths:

/run/user/{UID}/restic-cronned/statusd
/tmp/restic-cronned-{UID}/statusd (used by tmux)

I do think it is a feature to allow the control/info about tcp/http. I will think about adding support for Unix sockets
