I’m trying to connect to Postgresql using unix sockets, but can’t find documentation or examples on how to do it.
postgrex already has support for unix sockets.
It seems that I could place some configuration such as
config :postgrex, socket_dir: "/var/run/postgres (maybe it’s wrong) in config/config.exs, but would need (I think) to change Ecto as well.
How to do this?

I think you do it by passing in the path to the directory as the host name???

This code suggests that the directory is all you need:

A general forum etiquette suggestion: don’t go to 3+ year-old threads and re-ask a question that has a current thread. And if you do, at least link the current discussion
