Wake Me Up - "Wake-on-WAN" Application

A modern web application for sending Wake-on-LAN (WOL) packets to wake up servers on your network without exposing IP / Mac to frontend.

Features

• ASP.NET Core Web API backend
• React frontend
• Configure multiple servers via configuration file
• Beautiful, responsive UI with smooth animations
• Real-time feedback when waking servers
• Secure: Network information (MAC, broadcast, gateway) never exposed to frontend

Prerequisites

• .NET 9 SDK or later
• Node.js 18+ and npm

Configuration

Edit Backend/appsettings.json to configure your servers:

{
  "Servers": [
    {
      "Name": "Your Server Name",
      "MacAddress": "00:11:22:33:44:55",
      "GatewayIp": "192.168.1.1"
    }
  ]
}

Configuration Fields

• Name: Display name for the server
• MacAddress: MAC address of the server's network card (formats: 00:11:22:33:44:55 or 00-11-22-33-44-55)
• GatewayIp: Your network gateway IP address

Quick Start

Using Makefile (Recommended)

The project includes a Makefile with convenient commands:

# Install all dependencies
make install

# Run integrated application (frontend + backend on same port)
make dev

# Build both projects
make build

# Create production build (self-contained application)
make publish

# Build Docker image for deployment
make package

Run make help to see all available commands.

Deploy

If you prefer to run the application manually:

  docker run -d \
    --name wakemeup \
    -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
    -v /app/appsettings.Production.json:/app/appsettings.Production.json:ro \
    --restart unless-stopped \
    myowndockerhubaccount/wake-me-up:1.0
