So I am trying to set my Raspberry pi up so I can WOL my pc OUTSIDE of my house. Meaning, when I am far away and not in the same connection. As you can tell I am a noob when it comes to technical terms and /or anything remotlely to do with coding
What I tried so far:
- I installed raspberrian (the os, i hope thats what its called. )
- Tried this tutorial (sorry its german) https://youtu.be/TsPg7UEmrZk?si=IMXe4u1vAd6ap7QS where you basically turn your raspberry into a LAN server. The python script never worked so I tried etherwake instead.
- now if I type the command >sudo etherwake 00:11:22:33:44:55) my pc starts wohoo... that was the first thing. But I do not need it at home, i need to start my pc outside of my network.
- I made a site (dont know the right name for that, sorry) on . made the port forwarding in my router and the site told me it works.
- I installed PIVPN. and as far as i can tell it works. (can I test it if it works?) Since then if i connect my PI to a screen, it just shows the console (so maybe it did not work?)
- I can enter the site (will come to that shortly) if I enter it in my cell (not in home-network).
The site has a button and if i press the button, wol will be sent but it does not. It just shows what is written in the .sh file without running it.
So I need help with making the website work, so it will send the command to the raspberry to make the raspberry send the magic packet (= etherwake) to my pc.
Here is how the html is written :
Wake on LAN Server
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; }
Wake on LAN Server
sowpc
The content of the sh file is as follows:
sudo etherwake 00:11:22:33:44:55
Running the command in cmd does start my pc.
Could anyone be so kind as to help me? What do I write in the html file? Do I need another file to make it run (like python or so)? Is my sh file even right? Is there another way to enter the command when not in my home-network?
Thank you!
