Listen

Description

The listen function allows you to specify the IP, Port and Protocol that your Server will listen on. If the protocol is https then you can also specify a certificate to bind, even having Pode create a self-signed certificate for you.

Examples

1. The following example will listen on every IP over port 8080 for HTTP requests:

   This will setup an web server and will require routes to be configured

    Server {
        listen *:8080 http
    }

2. The following example will listen on localhost over port 25 for SMTP requests:

   This will setup an SMTP server and will require a handler to be configured

    Server {
        listen 127.0.0.1:25 smtp
    }

3. The following example will listen on a specific IP address over port 8443 for HTTPS requests; it will also inform Pode to create and bind a self-signed certifcate to the IP:Port:

   This will setup an web server and will require routes to be configured

    Server {
        listen 10.10.1.4:8443 https -cert self
    }
