nodewol v0.0.2-beta

Nodewol

Nodewol is a simple wake-on-lan tool written with node, underscore, backbone, Raphaël, jQuery and Twitter Bootstrap. It is intended for the low-power Raspberry Pi.

At the moment the (web-based) UI is optimized for desktop/laptop use. A fully responsive mobile UI is in progress. And yes, the clock widget is a shameless ripoff from the exquisite Nokia N9.

Installation

Required packages are node and npm. It is recommended to install nbtscan as well for NetBIOS name resolution and subnet scanning. Nodewol supports reverse DNS as well.

On a Debian Wheezy box (such as the Raspbian edition), the recommended installation procedure is:

Configuration

Check config.js.

Usage

Currently Nodewol requires root privileges because of the packet capturing feature (which automatically adds devices to the list). In the Nodewol directory, do a "sudo node app.js".

Known issues

• The packet capturing feature slows networking down somewhat.
• Multiple devices may appear to have the same IP in a network with many dynamic leases.
• The clock widget may behave a little odd occasionally.
• If the browser window is too narrow the panels overlap.
• Only IPv4 networks are supported.
• There's no way to add a device manually.
