Website for Minecraft Server Wake Up on Lan

a friend of mine has a little server rig. He hosts a Minecraft-Server on it over his router at home. Because he doesn't wanna run it 24/7, I had an idea and I wanna ask if its possible. My idea was to create a little website (world wide web) to start the server over wake up lan. I would run the website on my Rasperry Pie, which would be online 24/7. Is that possible? If so, what should I learn to make the website safe, e.g. password? Im not very familiar with website coding, but Im pretty good with software development with C-Based languages. Im non-native speaker, so please excuse any grammar mistakes. Thank you.

Wake on LAN works using broadcast packets, so in the local network only

And by default your router blocks those packets from the outside You will have a bad time trying to make that works

In your case, the best choice would be to pay a little server online for your server
