- Docker Image to deploy
- Send Wake On Lan packets to wake up computers
- Send Sleep On Lan packets to shutdown computers
- Add or Delete Computer
- Computers status check with ping, arp or tcp request (timeout settings available)
- ARP-SCAN to add computers
- Very low power usage (20 mb RAM)
- Check if IP and MAC provided are valid
- cron job to wake up device
- Check if Cron provided is valid
- Search on computer Name, MAC or IP
- Dark mode
- Authentication (disable by default)
- Ping Refresh to check Status availability
- Disable Delete or Add Computers
- Change the port of the Web UI
- Enable authentication (Local auth with only one user or OIDC)
Note
It's recommended to use docker compose to run this application. Install documentation
Caution
- The app container needs to run in host network mode to send the wakeonlan command on your local network.
- Make sure that the PORT you are using is free on your host computer
- Make sure that BIOS settings and remote OS is configure to allow Wake On Lan
- Don't expose gptwol directly on internet without proper authentication
Create docker-compose.yml file:

Run the application
docker compose up -d
Run the application

- Check the Sleep on Lan Github repo to download and configure
- GPTWOL send a reverse MAC wakeonlan packet on port 9 to shutdown your computer (you don't need to configure API)

- Configure Windows Defender Firewall by adding a new Inbound Rule (UDP port 9 to allow).
- You need to configure your OIDC provider to add new OIDC configuration. You need to enter
http(s)://yourgptwolurl(:port)/auth/oidc/callbackas Redirect URI - Configure the following ENV variables in docker compose:
OIDC_ENABLED OIDC_ISSUER OIDC_CLIENT_ID OIDC_CLIENT_SECRET OIDC_REDIRECT_URI(see default docker-compose.yml)

✔️ Add a TCP port option to check availability without using ICMP (added in 2.0.1)
✔️ Run app on subpath (added in 2.1.0)
✔️ Make app responsive for smaller screen (added in 2.1.0)
✔️ Add Dark Mode Switch (added in 2.1.3)
✔️ move computers.txt in an other directory not to mount a file but a directory to the docker container (added in 4.0.0)
✔️ Shutdown computers with Sleep on LAN (added in 4.1.0)
✔️ Add optional simple authentication (added in 4.2.0)

Is there a GUI to configure automatic wakeup and shutdown?
Automatic shutdown and wakeup are made in the GUI using cron syntax. As I want to keep the application simple, I will not implement a GUI with a calendar, month an days. You can check this link to help you build your cron.
