I'm not very familiar with Docker, but wouldn't something like "docker run some_image ip2unix -r /tmp/socket:8080 ..." work?

You could but it means: - you need to add ip2unix in your images, which is not always convenient - you still need to expose the socket outside the container (which is doable with volumes, but permissions can be a mess, especially if you use user namespaces)
