WOL App for Amahi 7

Postby rdagijones » Tue Sep 02, 2014 2:20 pm

I could have added this to another posting but I can see where this could develop into its own conversation.

I need a way to Wake-On-Lan client devices in my network. Amahi 7 does not have WOL capabilities ... yet. I researched and found "Wake On Lan via PHP" ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/wolviaphp/). Here is what I have done to get something working:
  • * Installed the "Web Apps" application on my HDA (http://www.amahi.org/apps/web-apps)
    * Created a web app called "wolviaphp," checked the "Access" box under said web app and set user passwords under Apps > Access (What an amazing addition to the Dashboard control panel! I Love it!)
    * Downloaded wolviaphp.zip and extracted the files.
    * Copied all the files from the extracted folder into /var/hda/web-apps/wolviaphp/html
    * Changed ownership permissions of all the files in /var/hda/web-apps/wolviaphp/html to apache:users
    * Created a new alias as wolviaphp.****.yourhda.com (where the *** is my dynamic host name)
Everything works within the local network. I still need to test things outside of the local network but things look good so far.

Here are my questions:
1. Is anyone interested in packaging this as a one-click app? (It is a bit above my pay-grade and time constraints.)
2. Could this app be adapted to integrate with the Amahi 7 Dashboard? (Information from Network >Fixed IPs files on the Dashboard could be plugged into the php scripts that drive wolviaphp.)

I might be able to help here. Please go to amahi.org and add this as an app suggestion.

As for integration within the Network area of the Dashboard, not possible with this solution.

When we get to the feature request for this capability, it will be designed to integrate.
