Remotely wake up your servers ... as-a-service!
**The problem:** Docker prevents bridge-networked containers from sending
wake-on-lan packets outside of the Docker network. That means standard Docker
wake-on-LAN packets outside of the Docker network. That means standard Docker
containers can't wake up remote machines. As a work-around, you can put them
on the Docker host network, but that has security and interoperability
implications—you may not want to expose your containers that way.
**The solution:** wake-on-lan-service runs on Docker's host network and sends
wake-on-lan packets *on behalf of* other containers running on a standard
wake-on-LAN packets *on behalf of* other containers running on a standard
bridge network. This allows them to wake up remote machines—without themselves
having to be on the host network.
