can you boot a server if someone tries to connect (lemm.ee)

I've got a mini pc which is running always and another one which consumes a lot more power for e.g. jellyfin.

Can I configure it such that the jellyfin server only boots if I connect to it? E.g. I try to connect to jellyfin.y.com and then the server boots because the mini pc tries to connect to it.

I already figured out how to let it sleep automatically as soon as nobody is watching.

Edit: can I add the magic package to the reverse proxy?

I love systemd.

Is this what you suggest? https://cybso.de/blog/2017-02/how-wake-lan-remote-host-demand-using-systemds-sockets/

This sounds like a proxy that sends a magic packet if it can't reach the service. That sounds great

Basically yeah, though other solutions may be easier or more integrated. Using systemd sockets is especially useful if you want to start a service on the local server that is always on, with a service that uses a lot of resources in the background without other user interaction
