Benson Wong c07179d6e2 cmd/wol-proxy: add wol-proxy (#352)
add a wake-on-lan proxy for llama-swap. When the target llama-swap server is unreachable it will send hold a request, send a WoL packet and proxy the request when llama-swap is available.

wol-proxy

wol-proxy automatically wakes up a suspended llama-swap server using Wake-on-LAN when requests are received.

When a request arrives and llama-swap is unavailable, wol-proxy sends a WOL packet and holds the request until the server becomes available. If the server doesn't respond within the timeout period (default: 60 seconds), the request is dropped.

This utility helps conserve energy by allowing GPU-heavy servers to remain suspended when idle, as they can consume hundreds of watts even when not actively processing requests.

Usage

# minimal
$ ./wol-proxy -mac BA:DC:0F:FE:E0:00 -upstream http://192.168.1.13:8080

# everything
$ ./wol-proxy -mac BA:DC:0F:FE:E0:00 -upstream http://192.168.1.13:8080 \
    # use debug log level
    -log debug \
    # altenerative listening port
    -listen localhost:9999 \
    # seconds to hold requests waiting for upstream to be ready
    -timeout 30

API

GET /status - that's it. Everything else is proxied to the upstream server.
