Wake up devices through Wake-On-LAN over simple web frontend or HTTP

This is a simple no-dependency Python script that exposes two HTTP endpoints while running:

Endpoint	Desc
GET /	Serves a simple HTML button that calls /trigger_wol
GET /trigger_wol	Sends the magic packet to wake up a local device (using wakeonlan)

Setup

Run this on a Linux machine if you want to use wakeonlan.

• Make sure Python and wakeonlan are installed and available on the path
• Replace YOUR_DEVICES_MAC_ADDR_HERE with the MAC address of remote machine (find out with TARGET_IP=1.2.3.4; ping -c 1 $TARGET_IP > /dev/null && arp -n | grep $TARGET_IP)
• Run python3 wol_http_server (optionally add --port 1234 to customize server port)
• Access simple webpage on host:8000

Automatic startup (via Systemd)

• Run install_user_service.sh
• Enable service
  systemctl --user enable wol-http-trigger.service
• Make systemd user services run without session
  loginctl enable-linger
