Unix Socket server api [dont reinvent the wheel]

example on how to use unix socket server api to send and receive data over a UNIX Domain socket, this example iterates over a text file and sends random lines to the client, this client can be a worker or database or other server that is isolated from the wider network, security is isolated only by user group or user id.

---

To install dependencies and create the socket:

bun install

To run both server and client in the terminal:

bun run index.ts

example output:

$ bun run index.ts
Connected to server
Unix server listening on /tmp/test.sock
:: Hello from server
Connection Hello from client
:: passion's
:: Bakunin
:: private's
:: congruity's
:: rumbas
:: atonality
:: Lynch
:: revenue's

todo

• Implement SQLite database support
• Implement error handling for socket connection
• Add support for multiple clients
• Improve performance by using non-blocking I/O
• Implement rate limiting to prevent abuse
