Start Network Services Dynamically
20In some cases, you might not want for a network service to run at all times. By creating a systemd static file on your Linux server, you can have a network service only start whenever it detects an incoming connection request. Basically, it works by having a systemd socket file intercept the connection request for the service that you want to start dynamically.
For the demo in this video, installed the micro-httpd webserver on a Raspberry Pi that's running Ubuntu Server 18.04.
Information in this video could help you prepare for certain Linux certification exams, such as the CompTIA Linux+ exam, a Linux Professional Institute exam (LPI exam), or a Red Hat Linux certification exam.
I hope that you like this Linux tutorial for Linux system administrators, and I'll see you next time.
