ZimaOS on DIY setup and Wake On LAN

Insight & Feedback
1

Hi,

I’ve installed on my DIY NAS ZimaOS.
I’m very happy with it but a feature is missing me.
I don’t find any way to start it with Magic paquet (WOL function) when it is powered off.
I daily shut down it with Zima setting. It works like a charm,but if I want to start it before BIOS power up time (7 am), I can’t.

BIOS WOL is setted up, and was functionnal with my previous system (OMV, for this one had to enable a setting in Dashboard)

In Zima I don’t find anything like that.

Do you think it is something that would be implemented in a close future?

Thanks very much.

Hi, just to back up your request: I really haven’t found any simple ways to use WOL. I handle reboots of this type by using the “auto-power-on” feature (found in the BIOS) in combination with a smart plug. However, since there is already a scheduled shutdown function, a scheduled reboot option, something I’ve previously suggested here on the forum, would be useful and serve the same purpose as native WOL.

HI,

It seems that is thread works on my setup:

[EDIT] Confirmed, works over LAN or WAN. Great. Would be nice to have a settings to enable it.

I have WOL enabled on my ZimaBoard 2, but I didn’t need to follow that guide. When I run the command sudo ethtool eth0 it shows that WOL is enabled in g mode by default. All I needed to do is configure the connection with the nmcli tool to permanently enable WOL. I used the command: sudo nmcli c modify ZimaCube-eth0 802-3-ethernet.wake-on-lan magic. It persists on reboots, so no systemd service is required.
