Overview

The new WakeonLAN web app offers a streamlined way to initiate Wake-on-LAN commands from a locally hosted environment. Built with SvelteKit and powered by PocketBase, this version replaces an older build, enhancing user experience and simplifying backend management. By using PocketBase, it not only handles database functions efficiently but also automates authentication, allowing users to focus more on functionality than on complex setups.

The deployment process using Docker is notably straightforward, making it accessible even for those who may not have extensive technical experience. This application supports both Linux amd64 and arm64 architectures, ensuring compatibility across various systems. Overall, this rewrite is a significant step forward for those looking to leverage Wake-on-LAN technology in a user-friendly manner.
