Start Network Services Dynamically

In 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.
