Migrating towards a server and agent based model

[drtech981]

I have many sites where I have individually hosted UpSnap on a VM and cloudflare-tunneled them to the public internet (CG-NAT issues).

It would be a great idea if there was a central server, and multiple locally hosted 'agents' on the LAN itself that would fire the WOL packet through a central web-based UI.

If I understand you correctly, you mean something like that, right?

                +----------------+          +----------------+
                |    Frontend    |  ----->  |   Main Server  |
                +----------------+          +----------------+
                                                |       |
                                                |       |
                           Subnet 1             |       |             Subnet 2
                        +------------+----------+       +----------+------------+
                        |  Agent 1   |                             |  Agent 2   |
                    PC--+------------+--PC                     PC--+------------+--PC
                        |     |      |                             |   |   |   |
                        PC    PC     PC                            PC  PC  PC  PC

That would certainly be helpful for more complex networks, but that's currently not the goal of the project. I just want to provide a very simple way for selfhosters and their home network to wake up their devices. What you describe already takes on corporate structures, and that's currently outside my scope.

Yeah, that's the model I was hoping for.
Thanks for the heads up though !!
