The previous default /run/gunicorn.ctl requires root permissions.
Now uses $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/gunicorn.ctl if available, otherwise
$HOME/.gunicorn/gunicorn.ctl. This works on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
and macOS without requiring elevated privileges.
- Add _get_default_control_socket() helper in config.py
- Create parent directory automatically with 0o700 permissions
- Update gunicornc CLI to use the same default path
- Add unit tests for path selection and directory creation
Add a control socket server and CLI client for runtime management
of Gunicorn instances, similar to birdc for BIRD routing daemon.
Features:
- Control socket server running in arbiter process (asyncio/threaded)
- gunicornc CLI with interactive and single-command modes
- JSON protocol with length-prefixed framing
- Commands: show workers/stats/config/listeners/dirty, worker add/remove/kill,
dirty add/remove, reload, reopen, shutdown
- Stats tracking (uptime, workers spawned/killed, reloads)
- Configurable socket path and permissions
New config options:
- control_socket: Unix socket path (default: gunicorn.ctl)
- control_socket_mode: Socket permissions (default: 0o600)
- --no-control-socket: Disable control socket
