Unix Sockets in virtio mounts / unsing gpg

[poggenpower]

Hi,

my use case is using gnupg in a dev container. For testing the gnupg home dir is part of the repo.
The repo is mounted into the container from my mac.

But the virtIO mounts don't allow to create sockets.
Beside gpg is failing. Also following python snippet shows the issue:

python -c "import socket as s; sock = s.socket(s.AF_UNIX); sock.bind('test.sock')"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
PermissionError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted

Creating a socket outside the virtIO mount e.g. in /tmp os working fine.

Is there a way to allow Unix sockets in these mounts?
Important: I am not looking to forward a socket from the host/mac into the container. It is "simply" creating and using a socket in the container itself.

I wouldn't expect this to be supported any time soon, unfortunately. It'd be very complicated because path-based Unix sockets on the file system are essentially just addresses, not the socket itself. Subscribe to #62 for updates.
