A Flask-based web application that lets you send magic packets to a target machine from the browser.
Enable Wake-On-Lan.
(optional) Set a static IP address.
Edit config.ini and enter your the target machine's configuration.
<mac address. Example: ff.ff.ff.ff.ff.ff>
<local ip address. Example: 255.255.255.255>
Note that if the target machine does not have a static IP address, you will have to edit this file every time the machine restarts.
Make sure that Python 3 is installed.
Then install the dependencies:
pip install -r ./requirements.txt
Set environment variables:
Unix, Linux, MacOS, etc.
export FLASK_APP="remote-wol.py"
export FLASK_ENV="production"
Windows
set FLASK_APP="remote-wol.py"
set FLASK_ENV="production"
Run the server:
python -m flask run --host 0.0.0.0
Then enter the password. You will need this password every time you want to send a magic packet.
You can now go to http://[pi-wol machine's local IP]:5000 to access the web interface.
You can use tunneling software like ngrok or plain ssh tunneling to allow π-WoL to be accessed remotely.
