Is there a VNC server that listens on a Unix domain socket instead of a standard port (5900)?

Question

I am trying to use a vncserver (There are many variants. I am ok with anything.) which listens on a Unix domain socket instead of the standard port (5900) (i.e., an Internet domain socket). I have not found any version supporting it. (I do know what domain sockets are and want to use server and client on the same box. Weird requirement.) I have got the client for it. I kind of modified one to support my requirement. Does any one know any vnc server which supports this requirement?

Why do you need/want to run VNC client and server on single box? — Sampo Sarrala - codidact.org, Aug 03 '12 at 22:59

you can use tigervnc or x2go for that, here I added how https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11314866/vncserver-supports-unix-domain-sockets — Badr Elmers, Nov 24 '19 at 19:44

I suspect https://stackoverflow.com/a/2150188/20146 would work.

Here are some extra characters to mollify StackOverflow, which insists on at least 30 :-|
