socket-event(8) System Manager's Manual socket-event(8)NAME
socket - event signalling that a socket connection has been made
SYNOPSIS
socket PROTO=PROTO PORT=PORT ADDR=ADDR
socket PROTO=PROTO PATH=PATH
DESCRIPTION
The socket event is generated by the upstart-socket-bridge(8) daemon when a socket connection is made whose details match the socket event
condition and environment specified in a jobs start on or stop on stanza.
When an incoming connection is detected, the file descriptor representing the socket is passed to the job in question to allow it to
accept(2) the connection. Additionally, the environment variable UPSTART_JOB will contain the name of the event ("socket") and the environ-
ment variable UPSTART_FDS will contain the number of the file descriptor corresponding to the listening socket.
EXAMPLES
Internet socket
Start web server when first client connects from localhost:
start on socket PROTO=inet PORT=80 ADDR=127.0.0.1
Local socket
start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=/var/run/.s.pgsql.1234
Abstract socket
start on socket PROTO=unix PATH=@/at/upstart/example

SYSTEMD-SOCKET-PROXYD(8) systemd-socket-proxyd SYSTEMD-SOCKET-PROXYD(8)NAME
systemd-socket-proxyd - Bidirectionally proxy local sockets to another (possibly remote) socket.
SYNOPSIS
systemd-socket-proxyd [OPTIONS...] HOST:PORT
systemd-socket-proxyd [OPTIONS...] UNIX-DOMAIN-SOCKET-PATH
DESCRIPTION
systemd-socket-proxyd is a generic socket-activated network socket forwarder proxy daemon for IPv4, IPv6 and UNIX stream sockets. It may be
used to bi-directionally forward traffic from a local listening socket to a local or remote destination socket.
One use of this tool is to provide socket activation support for services that do not natively support socket activation. On behalf of the
service to activate, the proxy inherits the socket from systemd, accepts each client connection, opens a connection to a configured server
for each client, and then bidirectionally forwards data between the two.
This utility's behavior is similar to socat(1). The main differences for systemd-socket-proxyd are support for socket activation with
"Accept=false" and an event-driven design that scales better with the number of connections.
OPTIONS
The following options are understood:
-h, --help
Print a short help text and exit.
--version
Print a short version string and exit.
--connections-max=, -c
Sets the maximum number of simultaneous connections, defaults to 256. If the limit of concurrent connections is reached further
connections will be refused.
EXIT STATUS
On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
EXAMPLES
Simple Example
Use two services with a dependency and no namespace isolation.
Example 1. proxy-to-nginx.socket
[Socket]
ListenStream=80
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
Example 2. proxy-to-nginx.service
[Unit]
Requires=nginx.service
After=nginx.service
Requires=proxy-to-nginx.socket
After=proxy-to-nginx.socket
[Service]
ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-socket-proxyd /tmp/nginx.sock
PrivateTmp=yes
PrivateNetwork=yes
Example 3. nginx.conf
[...]
server {
listen unix:/tmp/nginx.sock;
[...]
Example 4. Enabling the proxy
# systemctl enable --now proxy-to-nginx.socket
$ curl http://localhost:80/
Namespace Example
Similar as above, but runs the socket proxy and the main service in the same private namespace, assuming that nginx.service has PrivateTmp=
and PrivateNetwork= set, too.
Example 5. proxy-to-nginx.socket
[Socket]
ListenStream=80
[Install]
WantedBy=sockets.target
Example 6. proxy-to-nginx.service
[Unit]
Requires=nginx.service
After=nginx.service
Requires=proxy-to-nginx.socket
After=proxy-to-nginx.socket
JoinsNamespaceOf=nginx.service
[Service]
ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-socket-proxyd 127.0.0.1:8080
PrivateTmp=yes
PrivateNetwork=yes
Example 7. nginx.conf
[...]
server {
listen 8080;
[...]
Example 8. Enabling the proxy
# systemctl enable --now proxy-to-nginx.socket
$ curl http://localhost:80/
