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?

Exactly. It's like socket activation but plugged into nginx. It might or might not fit OP's use case, as when you have many small services like jellyfin, ram usage starts adding up. Adding automatic shutdown is a great idea

I can see that, especially if running on limited hardware. My server has way more RAM than it needs though (16GB), so saving 50MB here and there isn't very important.
