Symfony/Doctrine:¿Cómo hacer que Doctrine funcione con un socket Unix?

Después de depurar el controlador de Doctrine, creé una solución no tan elegante, pero sin embargo funciona y se puede mejorar.

No me gusta acceder a la variable de entorno en el propio controlador, pero posiblemente esto se pueda mejorar.

doctrine.yaml

doctrine:
    dbal:
        #driver:   %database_driver%
        driver_class: App\Infrastructure\Common\Service\PostgreSQLDoctrineDriver
        host:     %database_host%
        port:     %database_port%
        dbname:   %database_name%
        user:     %database_user%
        password: %database_password%
        #charset:  UTF8

    orm:
        auto_generate_proxy_classes: %kernel.debug%
        auto_mapping: true

PostgreSQLDoctrineDriver.php

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Infrastructure\Common\Service;

use Doctrine\DBAL\DBALException;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOConnection;
use Doctrine\DBAL\Driver\PDOPgSql\Driver;

use function defined;

                $username,
                $password,

            if (defined('PDO::PGSQL_ATTR_DISABLE_PREPARES')

            if (isset($params['charset'])) {
                $pdo->exec('SET NAMES \'' . $params['charset'] . '\'');
            }

            return $pdo;
        } catch (PDOException $e) {
