Comment on can you boot a server if someone tries to connect

Also an option, systemd based, could be to use systemd socket files, which (as far as I understand) opens a dummy socket and starts the matching service as soon as it’s requested.

I love systemd.
Is this what you suggest? cybso.de/…/how-wake-lan-remote-host-demand-using-…
This sounds like a proxy that sends a magic paket 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
