Shutdown On Lan

Shutdown On Lan is a FastAPI application that allows you to remotely shut down the system.

Why?

• It's easy to integrate into existing projects like UpSnap (It was created for it!)
• It simplifies the process of remotely shutting down the PC without requiring complex configurations.

Example Use Case

I use this tool combined with UpSnap for booting my gaming PC, Tailscale as VPN for the remote connection, and Sunshine for streaming so I can connect and play my games even when I'm not at home.

Usage

1. Download the package:

   pip install shutdown-on-lan
   

2. Start the application:

   shutdown-on-lan
   

3. Send an HTTP request to shut down the computer. For example, using curl:

   Replace <IP_ADDRESS> with the IP address of the machine you want to shut down and <PORT> with the port number (default is 8000).

   curl "http://<IP_ADDRESS>:<PORT>/shutdown"
   

Adding the Command to Startup on Windows

To run shutdown-on-lan automatically at startup on Windows without opening a terminal, follow these steps:

1. Create a batch file:

   • Open a text editor and paste the following content:

     @echo off
     start "" /B pythonw -m shutdown_on_lan.main
     

   • Save the file as shutdown-on-lan.bat.

2. Create a shortcut:

   • Right-click on your desktop or in a folder and select New > Shortcut.
   • In the location field, enter the path to the shutdown-on-lan.bat file.
   • Click Next and give the shortcut the name shutdown-on-lan.

3. Move the shortcut to the Startup folder:

   • Press Win + R, type shell:startup, and press Enter.
   • Move the shortcut you created into the Startup folder.

This will run shutdown-on-lan in the background without opening a terminal and add an icon to the system tray. You can quit the application by right-clicking the tray icon and selecting "Quit".

Message
