I have a Mac Mini on my local network running Plex Media Server on port 32400. The device is going to sleep mode after 1 hour of inactivity. I want the device to wake if a package is sent to it on port 32400.
If I understood it correctly I have to have a Bonjour Sleep Proxy in the same network, i.e. an AppleTV. I wonder if I can use a Raspberry Pi instead running the avahi-daemon? Will the Mac Mini register itself to Avahi running on the Raspberry Pi before sleeping and is it going to get woken up if I send a package on port 32400 to the Mac Mini?
As far as I can see, avahi-daemon is a Linux version of Apple's mDNSResponder which the Bonjour Sleep Proxies from Apple are running.
Avahi does not currently support sleep proxy, as either a client or server. So this will not work.
Currently you require some Apple device for a sleep proxy such as Airport, Time Capsule, Apple TV, etc.
I hope to add support for Sleep Proxy into Avahi
