Gunicorn.sock files : How are they generated? Where should they be located?

yeah i’ve had the same questions for awhile now as well. Several tutorials on deploying django, gunicorn and nginx talk about daemonizing/automating gunicorn but in the conf files, it specifies a .sock file. where is this .sock file? is it usually created automatically by whichever WSGI you choose i.e uWSGI, gunicorn? i tried to find the .sock file for my respective django app on ubuntu using find command but no luck. i want to use supervisor to automate gunicorn but i dont fully understand the conf file for superviser.

If i am running gunicorn +django app inside a docker container how will i specify this http://unix:/home/youusername/somename.sock;

I have the same question RE *.sock files, how are they created?

The documentation here (https://docs.gunicorn.org/en/stable/run.html?highlight=bind) says you can use in terminal:

GUNICORN_CMD_ARGS="unix:$HOME/somedir/appname.sock"

And also in the nginx config file in /etc/nginx/sites-available/whatever you called your config file (also symlinked to sites-enabled)

But this didn’t answer my question/solve my bad gateway error.
