Hey HN, liwasc, a project I've been working on for about half a year, is finally ready! It is a fast network scanner, port scanner and WoL server with a gRPC API and a PWA frontend.
I'd love to get your feedback :)
- sneak 6y agoThis is pretty neat. Your login splash page is pretty. Out of curiosity, what is your use case for WoL? I have literally never used it and can't imagine many scenarios where it might be useful. (Sorry for the slightly off-topic question, but I figure if you built this it must be scratching an itch that you have.)
- pojntfx 6y agoThanks! I have some servers/RPIs at offsite locations (read: I travel between my student dorm and my parent's, one of them has slow DSL and the other one synchronous gigabit) to which I don't have personal access to most of the time (my development server running pojde[1] for example). Using liwasc I can remotely turn them on in case I accidentally or intentionally turn them off (happened more than once) and check if the services on them are running properly using the periodic background scans. So the "lights off"-datacenter, basically - I just put liwasc on a RPI in the LAN, expose it to the net et voilà :) [1] https://github.com/pojntfx/pojde https://github.com/pojntfx/pojde
