chtake/pi-wol repository overview

⁠pi-wol

Pi-wol is an webbased wake on lan service running on any system which is supported by the dotnet runtime (e.g. linux, mac osx and windows). Initial it is developed to run on an raspberry-pi but it also runs on other platforms.

⁠Run the application

You can use either the docker-compose.yml or start the container direct. Important is to run the container with network_mode "host" to get the wake on lan magic packets work properly. Change the volumes to your needs.

volumes:
  - /srv/docker/pi-wol/data:/app/data

⁠docker compose

docker-compose up -d

⁠docker run

docker run --network="host" \
            -v /srv/docker/pi-wol/data:/app/data \
            -e "ASPNETCORE_URLS=http://+:8080" \

⁠Use pi-wol

Add your wake on lan capable computers to the app and wake it up through the webpage. The piwol must be on the same network as your wol clients. So you can also wake up computers indirect from vpn, internet or other subnets as your clients are with piwol.

Restrict access You can restrict the access of the pi-wol by ip address or whole networks. Multiple combinations of single hosts and networks are possible.

It`s also highly recommended to deny access from the internet with your router/firewall and access the app only within your local (w)lan and via vpn.

Mobile usage You can add the webapp to your homescreen.
