# Wake-on-LAN
|
|
|
|
## Simplified method (one host)
|
|
|
|
To use Wake-on-LAN with your server you must define some options such as the server's MAC address and (optionally) IP address. Use `/etc/kvmd/override.yaml`. The format is:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
kvmd:
|
|
wol:
|
|
mac: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Replace `ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff` with the MAC of your server. By default, a packet is sent via a broadcast request to the entire IPv4 network (`255.255.255.255`, port `9`), but you can address it to a specific static address:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
kvmd:
|
|
wol:
|
|
mac: ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
|
|
ip: 192.168.0.100
|
|
# port: 9 # By default
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
... then restart `kvmd` using `systemctl restart kvmd`. It will now show up in the system button in the upper right corner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## GPIO method (multiple hosts)
|
|
|
|
Follow the [manual for building the GPIO menu](gpio.md) and use the `wol` driver to build a menu with many buttons tied to different hosts.
