Wakupator

Self-Hosted

Self-hosted Wake-on-LAN scheduler and device manager

Overview

Wakupator is a lightweight self-hosted tool for managing Wake-on-LAN (WoL) tasks. It lets you schedule one-time or recurring wakes for devices on your network, maintain a searchable inventory of devices with MAC addresses and custom labels, and trigger WoL commands instantly via a simple web interface. Deployment is hassle-free using Docker—pull the image, map a volume for data persistence, and expose the web port to start using it. Ideal for home labs or small offices to automate device power management without relying on third-party services.

Frequently Asked Questions

? Is Wakupator hard to install?

No—Wakupator uses Docker for deployment, so you can get it running in minutes. Pull the official image, run it with a volume for data persistence, and expose the web port (default 8080). No manual dependency setup is required.

? Can Wakupator wake devices on a different subnet?

Yes—if your network router supports Wake-on-LAN forwarding (UDP port 9), you can configure Wakupator to send WoL packets to devices on other subnets. Ensure your router is set up to route these packets correctly.

? Is Wakupator completely free to use?

Yes—Wakupator is open-source software released under the MIT License. You can use, modify, and self-host it without any cost or subscription fees.
