β‘ Wake-on-LAN made simple β power on your machines remotely whenever needed.
π Reverse proxy β intercepts traffic and wakes the server automatically if itβs offline.
π Automatic shutdown β saves energy by powering down idle machines after configurable thresholds.
- Wake-on-LAN: Send magic packets to wake sleeping machines
- TCP Proxy: Forward ports to remote machines with automatic WOL
- Web Interface: Manage machines, ports, and monitor activity through a web dashboard
- Automatic Shutdown: Automatically turn off machines after inactivity periods
- Network Scanner: Discover machines on your local network
cargo install wakezillabrew tap guibeira/wakezilla
brew install wakezilla- Run the proxy server:
docker run -d \
--name wakezilla-proxy \
--network host \
-e WAKEZILLA__SERVER__PROXY_PORT=3000 \
-v ${PWD}/wakezilla-data:/opt/wakezilla \
guibeira/wakezilla:latest proxy-serverNote:
--network hostis required for Wake-on-LAN to work properly.- add
-v ${PWD}/wakezilla-data:/opt/wakezillato save configuration data persistently.
- Run the client server:
docker run -d \
--name wakezilla-client \
-p 3001:3001 \
guibeira/wakezilla:latest client-server-
Install Rust:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh source $HOME/.cargo/env
-
Build and Install:
git clone [email protected]:guibeira/wakezilla.git cd wakezilla make install
-
Verify Installation:
wakezilla --version
-
Run the Server:
wakezilla proxy-server
By default, the web interface runs on port 3000.
-
Run the Server:
wakezilla client-server
By default, the web interface runs on port 3001. You can check the health of the client server by visiting: http://:3001/health
Access the web interface at http://<server-ip>:3000 to:
- Add and manage machines
- Configure port forwards
- View network scan results
- Send WOL packets manually
- Configure automatic shutdown settings
- Navigate to the web interface
- Click "Add Machine" or use the network scanner
- Fill in MAC address, IP, and name
- Configure:
- Turn-off port (if remote shutdown is needed)
- Inactivity Period: Time in minutes before automatic shutdown (default: 30 minutes)
- Port forwards as needed
- When adding or editing a machine, enable "Can be turned off remotely"
- Set the "Turn Off Port" (typically 3001 for the client server)
- Configure the Inactivity Period:
- Set the number of minutes of inactivity before automatic shutdown
- The system monitors when the last request was received for each machine
- If no requests are received within the inactivity period, the machine will be automatically shut down
- The machine will automatically shut down after the configured inactivity period of no activity
- Add a machine to the system
- Configure port forwards for that machine:
- Local Port: Port on the server to listen on
- Target Port: Port on the remote machine to forward to
- When traffic hits the local port, the machine will be woken up if needed and traffic forwarded
Each machine can be configured with:
- MAC Address
- IP Address
- Name and Description
- Turn-off Port (for remote shutdown)
- Inactivity Period: Time in minutes before automatic shutdown (default: 30 minutes)
- Port Forwards:
- Local Port: Port on the server
- Target Port: Port on the remote machine
- Server Mode: Runs the web interface and proxy services
- Client Mode: Runs on target machines to enable remote shutdown
- WOL Process:
- When traffic hits a configured port, the server sends a WOL packet
- Waits for the machine to become reachable
- Forwards traffic once the machine is up
- Automatic Shutdown:
- A single global inactivity monitor runs continuously, checking all machines every second
- Each machine's
last_requesttimestamp is automatically updated whenever a connection is accepted - The monitor compares the time since
last_requestagainst the configuredinactivity_period(in minutes) - If no requests are received within the inactivity period, a shutdown signal is sent via HTTP to the client
- When a machine configuration is updated (e.g., inactivity period changed), the monitor is automatically stopped and restarted with the new settings
- This ensures only one monitor instance runs at a time, preventing duplicate shutdown signals
- The server should be run on a trusted network
- Access to the web interface should be restricted if exposed to the internet
- The turn-off endpoint on clients should only be accessible from the server
- Rust and Cargo installed
- Clone the repository
- Install dependencies with
make dependencies
on frontend folder run:
trunk servethis will initialize the frontend in watch mode on port 8080
on the root folder run:
cargo watch -x 'run -- proxy-server'this will initialize the backend in watch mode on port 3000
-
Machine not waking up:
- Verify the MAC address is correct
- Ensure WOL is enabled in the machine's BIOS/UEFI
- Check firewall settings on the target machine
- Verify the target machine supports WOL
-
Proxy not working:
- Check that the target port is correct
- Verify the machine is reachable after WOL
- Ensure no firewall is blocking the connection
-
Automatic shutdown not working:
- Verify the turn-off port is configured correctly
- Ensure the client is running on the target machine
- Check that the client can receive HTTP requests from the server
- Verify the inactivity period is configured correctly (in minutes)
- Check logs to see when the last request was received for the machine
- Ensure traffic is actually reaching the proxy (requests update the last_request timestamp)
Check the terminal output for detailed logs about:
- WOL packets sent
- Connection attempts

- Shutdown requests
