  • I had the same issue and solved it that way:   1. Uninstall Python2 from the Nerd Pack Plugin 2. cli into your unraid 3. Download Python2 for Slackware: wget https://slackware.uk/s

  • Hello @dmacias   How are you? Hope you are doing well.   I started having issues with WOL plugin recently - it just won't start. I tried enabling/disabling from the VM Manager sett

  • @dlandon has created a Python 2 plugin, so WOL is now no longer being deprecated

I, also, am having trouble getting guac to start a VM with WOL.

I'm following @SpaceInvaderOne's guide on youtube and my VM won't start.

I'm having the same problem. It does not work anymore when updating to the latest version of Unraid :(

also having troubles to get WoL to work for VM w/ unraid 6.12.4. Anyone still able to make it work? Thanks so much!

I tried this plugin and it kinda worked.

 

I don't want to hi-jack this, but I needed to be able to wake from sleeping and hibernating states.  As such, I made this:

https://github.com/mtongnz/unraidWOLcmd

 

It's a docker container to receive WOL packets.  You can configure any command to run on your unRaid server, including the vmControl script I wrote to start/stop VMs.

 

I'd be interested in some feedback.

 

Cheers

I'm assuming you've followed the instructions and have the FIFO, user script & docker container setup. I'm also assuming the container and user script are both running. I'm also assuming you've setup the docker config.yml with the default "echo test" from the GitHub repo.

 

Open the user script log and it should display a message when new WOL packets come in.

 

Send a WOL packet to your containers IP using the MAC specified in the config.yml for the echo test.  Broadcasting it might work but I specify the exact IP.

 

Did the user script log show anything?

If not, then something isn't setup correctly.

If it shows, then the WOL is working and it's something else.

I don't recall testing w/ the script. Definitely will look into it! Thanks so much!!

Is this plugin still being supported? there have been no updates to the addon since 2020 and the github page appears to be dead as well. has it been moved to a new app version?

I found the plugin missing a few features (like waking a sleeping VM) so I made a docker to do it.  I posted it up a few posts:

 

Plug-In works perfectly in my local lan. Thank you for making this plugin!

 

When I'm away, I connect with my phone via tailscale to my unraid server and I would like to wake up a Win10-VM. On unraid I'm using the "Tailscale Plugin". Is there a way this can work together? I assume it's maybe difficult because of the different network interfaces ... with the tailscale plugin, unraid has br0 and tailscale1 as network interfaces in the settings.

 

But i'm too much a beginner to understand it. If someone has it running, I would be happy to hear about it 🙂

any chance of this making it into the app store?

It's always the obvious things. Thank you so much. I got it to work. Sadly it didn't work with the variable but after editing the startup script by adding sudo and the VM Name it now works with Guacamole. Thank you for your assistance!

Hello Drycane, 

could you explain it properly how it will work with Guacamole, to wake up VMs properly with WOL? 

  • 7 months later...

After upgrading to unraid 6.12.11 the required python2 plugin did not install for me anymore, meaning the WOL plugin was not working either.

Swapped to this (beta) plugin and WOL start of VMs is now working nicely again for me.
