Wake on Lan Service

This service will make it easy to wake computers over distant network connections by leveraging HTTP.

Developing

1. Create a new virtual environment in the top-level directory and source the environment.

2. python setup.py develop will install all packages in development mode.

3. Create a config.ini file in the root project directory and place the following configuration in it

   [database]
   path = :memory:

   This will tell the service to use an in-memory SQLite database that will clear on app restart.

4. python -m wolservice.wsgi will launch the service in the local development mode.

Onboarding a Host

In powershell, run the following command. This will only work if the host <your host> is active on the network and registered in DNS.

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:5000/<your hostname>'

Dockerfile

This project is set to build a Docker version as well. By default, it uses the config file located in extra/config.ini.
