Wake On Lan

Description

The wakeonlan functionality relies on a Docker service to be installed on the network where you want to power up machines.

Prerequisites

  • Have a machine on an x86 platform under Linux or Raspberry Pi that will remain on permanently

  • Docker installed

  • If you use a Firewall type filtering system, you must authorize the machine where the reemowol service will be installed to output to the wol.reemo.io url on port 443 in TCP and to the registry.reemo.io url in TCP on port 443

  • Enable boot with PXE in your machines bios or/and in your OS

Enable WOL in Ubuntu

apt install ethtool
ethtool < network card >
ethtool -s < network card > wol g

Auto Wake-On-Lan Activation at Startup

systemctl edit --force --full wol-enable.service

Once the order has been sent, you must wait for the machine to boot to see it Online
