Using systemd
, you can launch
MPD on demand when the first client
attempts to connect.
MPD comes with two
systemd unit files: a "service"
unit and a "socket" unit. These will only be installed when
MPD was configured with
--with-systemdsystemunitdir=/lib/systemd/system
.
To enable socket activation, type:
systemctl enable mpd.socket systemctl start mpd.socket
In this configuration, MPD will
ignore the bind_to_address
and
port
settings.
