Unable to figure out a schedule
Verfasst: 24. Mär 2023, 01:26
Hi,
I have LO3 running on Server 2022 and am struggling with the setup I want to put it to sleep when I don't use it. I mainly use the server as a media centre, file storage and as a test bed for websites but I don't want it turned on all the time as most of the work is done on a laptop.
1) I'd like to be able to boot the server remotely at any time of the day or night by sending a wake command from the app on my phone
2) If I boot the server at anytime I would usually be connecting via RDP, streaming with Emby/plex (Media App) or accessing shared files from the laptop so I want it to stay alive if any of these things are happening and otherwise go to sleep
3) I would also like to have a server backup running during the day and if possible have the server wake up for this, run the backup and then go back to sleep
My original thought was to have it sleep between 9 and 2 (because I only usually use it between these hours), wake it up with my phone and if nothing is happening it would go to sleep, then have 2am as a failsafe for sleeping regardless.
Thus far I have tried and noticed the following -
a) I have the calendar currently set to start at 9am (no action) and end at 2am (with standard action hibernate) and use the settings to monitor RDP, Shared Folders, Calendar and 1000Kb of Network. This doesn't appear to work though as any activity during the day keeps it awake.
b) I have the app setup on my phone and whilst this connects if I try to put it to sleep it immediately restarts
c) At 2am it appears to sleep and stay asleep on its own
d) I've changed the lightsout updates to occur at 11am once a week but when it updates the server stays awake all day
Help appreciated
