How to connect with unix sockets? about gce-cloudsql-proxy-action

[mattes]

The implementation of this proxy is currently lacking support for unix sockets.

Looking at the docs it should be possible by:

1. Mounting unix socket under /tmp/gce-cloudsql-proxy/<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>
2. Updating -instances to -instances=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME> (you'll probably have to update the -dir /tmp as well).
3. Make the wait-for-it.sh logic work for unix sockets.
4. Update the inputs to reflect the new configuration variable.

Something along the lines :-)

Ah, ok. Thanks for the reply

Do you have any idea how difficult it would be to add support for unix sockets? I may try to tackle this if it's not too difficult

I was able to get it to work by installing and running cloud_sql_proxy directly.

  - name: Download & Start Google Cloud SQL Proxy
    shell: bash
    run: |

      wget "https://storage.googleapis.com/cloudsql-proxy/v1.21.0/cloud_sql_proxy.linux.amd64" -q -O cloud_sql_proxy
      chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy

      ./cloud_sql_proxy \
        -dir=/tmp/cloudsql \
        -instances=project:us-central1:my-fb &
