I think Canna can be configured as a network server but the library I
use defaults to either a pipe or unix domain sockets.

I don't see why, necessarily.  Sure, I don't think I'd put NCSA httpd
on the Internet these days.  And I doubt I'd want to put a service
whch accesses shared resources on the net that way.  But much older
software such as input methods that you might want to put on the
network as SaaS are process-per-user single-purpose stuff.  I'd be
plenty comfortable configuring cannaserver as an sshd subsystem, for
example.
