An example network service with systemd-activated socket in Python. #systemd #python #socket #socket-activation

README

The example below creates a TCP server listening on a stream (i.e. SOCK_STREAM) socket. A similar approach can be followed to create a UDP server on a datagram (i.e. SOCK_DGRAM) socket. See man systemd.socket for details.

An example server

Create an simple echo server at /opt/foo/serve.py.

An example inetd-like socket-activated service. #systemd #inetd #systemd.socket

README

This is an example of a socket-activated per-connection service (which is usually referred to as inetd-like service). A thorough explanation can be found at http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/inetd.html.

Define a socket unit

The key point here is to specify Accept=yes, which will make the socket accept connections (behaving like inetd) and pass only the resulting connection socket to the service handler.
