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 think you'll want to look into Wake On LAN to do this. I can't give you instructions (tried once unsuccessfully on a Windows installation) but that should be enough to get you started.

    Thanks! I use wake on lan with rtcwake to boot at a certain time. I also found an app via which I can boot the server via wake on lan. But it would be nice if it could wake up just by requesting the service
