Foreman feature suggestion

Support
#1

Hi,

I just noticed there is no Wake On Lan support in foreman : this is just to say it would be cool to have a "wakup node" button, that would send a magic wakup packet to the node's mac address :]

Cheers

Yep, Agree, and its pretty trivial to implement… please add a feature
request to the proxy [1]
note: you'll need to register to the site first.

thanks!

[SCHAER Frederic] Done. But I did not set a category, as I did not see that fit in any existing one.

Hi,
I'm resurrecting an old topic, as WOL is a topic of recent interest here
on one of our sustainability projects. I added my +1 to the feature
request, but also am wondering if there's a way I could kickstart a project
for this feature? I'm really not familiar with how to develop within the
Foreman / Smart-Proxy framework, but would like to take a stab at this.
Could someone give me a shove in the right direction?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Certainly can :slight_smile:

I'd start by looking at the BMC support in Foreman and the Proxy - it
feels like WOL is a natural extension of this. Currently there's code
in the Foreman UI that calls out to the proxy for that host's BMC
network (BMC is a proxy feature, so it's a first-class citizen rather
than going via a different proxy type). The proxy will then act on
that call, via the freeipmi or openipmi implementations (both are
supported).

I guess you'll just want to add a single route to the proxy along the
lines of 'GET /bmc/:host/chassis/power/wol' - you could add that to
the case statement at [1]. Once you can call that from the cmdline,
you'll just need to show an appropriate button in the UI to call it -
have a look at [2] for that.

Good luck, do come back with questions :slight_smile:

Hi all,

Just curious whether anyone involved in this thread started work on this.
I'm thinking about trying to add this functionality and would rather not
duplicate efforts. I don't know the first thing about Foreman Proxy plugin
development, though…

Thanks!
