Hi there.
I use the sleep plugin to let Unraid sleep.
Now I want the server to wake up automatically twice a day. Once at 8 a.m. and once at 8 p.m.

How could I do that? I am a total beginner in Linux and it would be nice if someone could help me. Thank you.

This is not a Linux issue!

 

You need an external event to trigger the wake.  Sometimes this can be simply set as a time in the motherboard BIOS.   More commonly you have another system send a WOL (Wake On Lan) packet across the network to your server (this does require your NIC to support WOL functionality and your motherboard BIOS be configured to act on it).

You can create a batch file (Windows) which holds the WOL-command. Then create a Task at 8:00am and a second one on 8:00pm to execute the batchfile - done.

Of corse, the computer which holds the batchfile has to be on 😉

Other solution: Take a raspberry and create a WOL-File and implement two cronjobs for 8:00 am/pm.
