WoL-go

A tool for controlling and implementing Wake-on-LAN (WoL) from a web interface.

Overview

WoL-go is a utility designed to enable remote wake-up of machines through a user-friendly web interface. This tool is ideal for deployment on a router or any always-on machine within your local area network (LAN). It supports remote access via internal network penetration techniques or IPv6, making it possible to manage and wake your machines from anywhere.

Features

• Web-based Interface: Easy to use and accessible from a browser.
• Cross-platform Support: Binaries available for multiple operating systems and architectures.
• Remote Accessibility: Manage wake-up functionality through internal network penetration or IPv6.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To use WoL-go, you will need:

• A machine that is always on within your LAN, such as a router.
• Go installed if you plan to compile the project yourself.

Download

You can directly download the pre-compiled binaries suited for your system architecture from the Releases page.

Compilation

If you prefer to compile the binary yourself, use the following commands adjusted for your target operating system and architecture:

# For Linux amd64
GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 go build -o WoL-go main.go

# Example for Windows amd64
GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 go build -o WoL-go.exe main.go

Running the Server

To start the service, run the following command:

./WoL-go

Then, access the web interface by navigating to http://localhost:9543 in your web browser.

Usage

Once WoL-go is running, you can add the MAC addresses of the machines you want to be able to wake up. Use the web interface to manage these addresses and initiate the wake-up command.
