I see this is deprecated. Any up to date plugin/docker with the same purpose ?

@PetabyteLDA @Rayman

uninstall the plug in

then go into the terminal

cd /boot/extra

if doesnt exist

mkdir /boot/extra
cd /boot/extra

then run these 2 commands

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/unRAID-WOL/master/packages/etherwake-1.09-x86_64-5cf.txz


installpkg etherwake-1.09-x86_64-5cf.txz 

once you run those 2 commands   you will be able to use etherwake from the command line

Does this package allow you to wake up UnRAID or allow you to wake up other computers?

@PetabyteLDA  the etherwake  lets you wake up other computers

 

so  

etherwake  <mac address>  

 

if you want to be able to set your unraid to wake up after you shut down

go in your "GO" file in the /boot/config

 

ethtool -s eth1 wol g

 

 

i use eth1  as i set the 10gig fiber on eth0   but if you just use eth0

 

ethtool -s eth0 wol g

 

so that allows your unraid to be able to be woken up  say from pfsense  or another unraid etc

 

but the etherwake..  i use in user scripts to wake up 4 other unraid boxes and do nightly backups to them and then i shut them down  in the user script

 

Thx ! i'll test this asap.

I use it to start my pc when i'm not home.

your welcome hope it helps you both  i had to get help myself as i was frustrated 

 

it be nice they have the etherwake installed  with unraid when you install it...  as i was stuck once i had uninstalled the plugin as it was depreciated...

Hi Comet424,

 

I'm not using this plugin to wake other PC in the network, but to make UnRAID wakable by other PCs.

But after checking your post, I think I was wrong. I don't need the plugin for that, only the line in the Go file, right?

 

Regards.

@PetabyteLDA

ok ya  then the plugin well  my steps above doesnt even use a plugin anymore  just installs etherwake application  so it can wake up other pcs  

 

but ya for you if you just want to be able to wake your Unraid up say from Pfsense router or another app so your unraid is always off

all you do is edit the go file 

add 

 

ethtool -s eth0 wol g

 

 

eth0  if its your only nic  or the nic you want to use it on but you cant wake up on a fiber cable  so  youll want to set it to one your using as a regular ethernet cable

 

and then each time  unraid boots up  it will set unraid to be wakeable when you shut down... now if power goes out  it will loose that unless on ups... so youll want to set in your computers BIOS   enable  Wake on lan... this will set it least if power goes out or you unplug it..

 

hope that helps
