# WOLWM
**WOLWM (Wake-on-LAN Web Manager)** is an easy-to-use web application that allows you to remotely wake up devices on your local network using **Wake-on-LAN (WoL) magic packets**. With a clean UI and simple configuration, WOLWM makes it effortless to bring your computers online from anywhere.
## 🎯 Features
- 🌐 **Web-based Interface** – No need for CLI commands; manage Wake-on-LAN from a browser.
- ⚡ **Send Magic Packets** – Wake up devices remotely with a single click.
- 📋 **Device Management** – Save and manage multiple devices for quick access.
- 🔄 **Logging & History** – Track which devices were woken up and when.
## 🔧 Setup
### Option 1: Running with Docker (Recommended)
1. Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/thelicato/wolwm.git && cd wolwm
```
2. Install dependencies:
```sh
docker compose up -d
```
### Option 2: Manual (dev mode)
1. Clone the repository:
```sh
git clone https://github.com/thelicato/wolwm.git && cd wolwm
```
2. Run in dev mode:
```sh
task dev # You have to install all the dev requirements
```
## 🚀 Usage
1. Open your browser and navigate to `http://localhost:5000` (or `http://localhost:5173` if running in dev mode)
2. Add your device(s) by specifying their MAC address and network broadcast IP.

## 📌 Prerequisites
To use WOLWM, ensure you have:
- A device with **Wake-on-LAN** enabled in BIOS and OS.
- A **web server** to host the app.
- **Network access** to the target devices (they should be in the same subnet or properly routed).
## 📖 Wake-on-LAN Explained
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is a networking standard that allows you to remotely wake up a powered-off computer using a **magic packet** sent over the network. The system must support WoL, and it must be enabled in both BIOS/UEFI and OS settings.
## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
- **Device not waking up?** Ensure WoL is enabled in BIOS and OS.
- **Magic packet not reaching the device?** Check firewall and network configurations.
- **Using a VPN?** Wake-on-LAN usually doesn’t work across different subnets without special routing.
## 🏗️ Future Improvements
- Scheduled wake-ups & shutdowns.
- Add authentication
