Wakezilla 🦖

Crates.io License: MIT CI

Wakezilla wakes machines on demand, forwards traffic to them, and can shut them down again after a period of inactivity. Manage everything from a web dashboard, terminal UI, or desktop tray.

Wakezilla lifecycle: request, wake, proxy, response, and idle shutdown

Features

  • Wake machines remotely with Wake-on-LAN.
  • Forward TCP services and wake their target machine automatically.
  • Manage machines, ports, activity, and network discovery from the web dashboard.
  • Shut down idle machines through authenticated proxy-to-client requests.
  • Run the proxy and client as native system services.
  • Operate Wakezilla through the web, terminal UI, or desktop tray.

How it works

Wakezilla's proxy runs on an always-on machine. When traffic reaches a configured port, it wakes the target machine and forwards the connection. An optional client service on the target machine enables authenticated remote and automatic shutdown.

See How Wakezilla works for the architecture, network flow, and deployment model.

Get started

Use the documentation for current platform requirements, installers, Docker, service setup, and the first machine configuration:

  1. Install Wakezilla.
  2. Follow the quick start.
  3. Open the web dashboard guide.

Docs

Read the Wakezilla documentation.

Development

Wakezilla is a Rust workspace with a Leptos frontend. Run Rust tooling directly:

cargo fmt --all -- --check
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings
cargo test --workspace --locked

For local development, start the frontend from frontend/ with trunk serve and run the proxy from the repository root with cargo run -- proxy-server.

Issues and pull requests are welcome. Please include tests for behavior changes and keep the standard checks green.

Security

Wakezilla is designed primarily for trusted networks. Client shutdown requests can be authenticated, but access to the dashboard and API must be restricted separately. Review the security guide before exposing Wakezilla outside a private network.
