Allow WOL configuration in network menu #2363

Open malillog opened 2 years ago

I think for a NAS it is essential to have the ability to enable/disable Wake-on-lan

There are some posts indicating solutions in this regard.

It would be very useful to add a field in the network configuration screen, for example like this: image

@malillog Hello again, and thanks for creating this issue.

This is a really nice Idea. And I agree, this would be a good place to pop this user interface element in.

Do you fancy doing a pull request proof of concept for this?

Our developer docs are currently a little behind on which branch to work from and given this would affect critical path code I'm keen to not pop this in our stable (master branch) but against the currently identical code wise, testing branch. See: "As from 4.1.0-0 stable release, the new testing branch is default for contributions." https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-doc/issues/357

This testing branch will however soon be used for some breaking changes to come. See: "WARNING -- EARLY TESTING CHANNEL -- KNOWN BROKEN (DEVELOPERS ONLY)": https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-core/issues/2362

Thanks again for sharing your suggestion.
