Use Cases

A web app hosted locally for wakeonlan, turn on computers in private network.

Use VPN to go into your network and wake up your computers with a simple click in your browser.

Frontend: Vue.js + TypeScript

Backend: golang + fiber

UI

To Develop

Frontend

npm i -g @vue/cli
cd frontend
npm install
npm run serve

Database

Database has switched from postgresql to sqlite. So there is no need to set up a database, the server will handle sqlite.

Backend

cd backend
mkdir -p data
go get -u github.com/cosmtrek/air
# add go/bin to path
export PATH=$HOME/go/bin:$PATH    # on linux, similar on mac
air                                     # start live reload

Run backend with docker compose

docker compose -f docker-compose-helpers.yml run dev-backend

or make dev-backend

See backend and Environment Variables for more configuration options.

API Documentation

https://documenter.getpostman.com/view/UVRAJ7MZ?version=latest

Docker Environment

The app can be hosted with docker which requires the machine to have docker and docker compose installed.

If you want to run it without docker (with native golang), see later sections: Deploy Without Docker

Modify the image tags within docker compose.yml and docker docker-compose-helpers.yml depend on what machine you are running.

golang image:

• golang:1.17.6-alpine3.15

nodejs image:

• node:16

Build Frontend

To deploy the app, you don't need to build frontend, just download the release from github.

Or using this command make download-frontend.

If you need to build it, read the following instructions.

The frontend is written in vuejs and needs to be built manually to generate a dist folder which contains the index.html and other resources.

Build with Makefile (recommended)

make build-frontend     # exactly the same as the docker compose method, just a simplified wrapper

Manual Installation and Build

If you have nodejs 15+, npm on your machine, you can cd into frontend

cd frontend
npm install
npm run build:pwa

Build with docker compose (easier)

If you don't have the dependencies installed, you can use docker compose to build the frontend production build.

docker compose -f docker-compose-helpers.yml run build-frontend

Backend

For more information and configuration related to backend, check backend README

You can configure

• port of the server
• number of users allowed to sign up
• JWT Secret and Login Time (JWT_VALID_TIME)

Run make build-backend to build the backend binary.

If you have golang installed, you can also run go build . -o server within backend folder.

Deployment

Docker Image

huakunshen/wol:latest

Supported Platform

• linux/arm64/v8
• linux/arm/v6
• inux/arm/v7
• linux/amd64

The docker image contains everything you need to run the app, including a wakeonlan cli called wol. You can run a container with network=host to use the wol cli tool.

docker run

docker volume create wol
docker run -d --network=host --restart=unless-stopped --name wol-web -v wol:/wol-server/data huakunshen/wol:latest

or just run make deploy (alias of the docker run command above).

run make deploy-test to run without detach mode.

You may add customized environment variables following the instruction.

Dockerfile

There 2 versions of Dockerfile used to build docker image.

• Dockerfile
  • build both vue frontend and golang server into the image
  • the Dockerfile assumes that the frontend is already compiled (in frontend/dist)
    • run make build-frontend or make download-frontend to generate a production build
  • then docker build -t huakunshen/wol:latest . to build the image
  • make buildx will generate multi-platform image

Environment Variables

Environment Variables can be added/overwritten by:

• adding environment: to docker compose service or
• adding -e env_name=env_value to docker run

The following variables are the default environment variables.

PORT=9090
JWT_SECRET=secret
JWT_VALID_TIME=14400    # in minute

NUM_USER_ALLOWED=1

NUM_USER_ALLOWED env variable can be used to specify the number of user allowed to sign up. Default is 1 if you are the only user.

During development, both Database and Server environment variables can be modifed in backend/.env

check backend too.

Sample Command

Option 1

1. edit backend/.env
2. cd into this directory (wol-web)

docker run -d \
  --network=host --name wol-web \
  -v ${PWD}/wol-web-data:/wol-server/data \
  --env-file backend/.env \
  huakunshen/wol:latest

Option 2

docker run -d \
  --network=host --name wol-web \
  -v ${PWD}/wol-web-data:/wol-server/data \
  -e PORT=9090 \
  -e JWT_SECRET=wol-secret \
  -e JWT_VALID_TIME=20000 \
  -e NUM_USER_ALLOWED=1 \
  huakunshen/wol:latest
