When starting out with self-hosted media servers, many users run *arr apps on their personal machines. It's not uncommon to have Windows services installed for Sonarr, Radarr, Readarr, Prowlarr, Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, Jellyseerr, VueTorrent, Dashy... and the like.
This can be inefficient, as personal computers (let's be honest, gaming computers) run on power-intensive hardware, and are wasting energy while idle if not in use. Not to mention the noise and heat coming out of that ATX case! This is compounded when the computer is left on 24/7 in case you might need to add something to a DVR or watch 15 minutes of a show on your lunch break.
Yes it's possible to buy a $2000 NAS and run Unraid/OMV, set up redundant disks, split your libraries onto dedicated drives/volumes so only one spins up when you use it (etc. etc. etc.) but who has the money and time for that!
This is a very simple app intended to provide a dashboard for powering personal machines on and off instead.
NOTE: This app is intended to be installed on a lightweight client such as an old Raspberry Pi, on the same local network as your media servergaming computer. If you happen to have an old RPI1/0 lying around, remember they run on ARMv6 so some extra work may be necessary to compile binaries if you don't use docker.
- Pull the latest image, build, and start the app using
docker run -d --restart always --network host kaistarkk/wumps
- Install SleepOnLan on any target machines that you need to be able to hibernate as well as wake.
The recommended method of exposing this application to the internet is to use a Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnel. See the cloudflared documentation for further details on setting up a tunnel.
WUMPS runs on port 9008 by default.
- Improve install instructions
- Save configuration from the dashboard
- Tidy up UI for changing configuration
- Add authentication
- Switch between multiple saved hosts (tiles?)
- Check for updates
Current dependencies and stack:
- SleepOnLan
- Python3 (w/ wakeonlan, ping3, configparser)
- Flask
- HTML/CSS/JS (jinja)
- Docker
