Hi @camateg,

We'll add this to this list of feature requests - would also be good to know if your request is for personal or corporate use - as I've personally never needed to use a custom socket before. Just want to know a little bit more about your exact use case :)

In the meantime, you can achieve what you want by:

In an text editor / IDE navigate to src/DB/DBManager.php
Add the following line 'unix_socket' => '/path/to/custom/socket/mysql/mysql.sock' as part of $this->capsule->addConnection, just like as follows:

$this->capsule->addConnection([
                'driver'    => 'mysql',
                'host'      => $server['host'],
                'port'      => $server['port'],
                'database'  => $db,
                'username'  => $server['user'],
                'password'  => $server['password'],
                'charset'   => 'utf8',
                'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
                'unix_socket' => '/path/to/custom/socket/mysql/mysql.sock'
            ], $key);

Alternatively, you could do something like 'unix_socket' => getenv('UNIX_SOCKET'),

And then create/add to your .env file, as follows: UNIX_SOCKET=/Applications/MAMP/tmp/mysql/mysql.sock

A way to specify a non-standard socket? #44
