Lazy Helper !
A simple interface to help lazy people like me to shut down/reboot/sleep/lock/etc. their computer remotely.
- USAGE
If you're a lazy guy, like me. or a busy one, you may leave your PC on, when you're going to sleep, or going to watch a movie on TV.
There you are ! This is the solution you're looking for :)
Just install and run LazyHelper and after that you're able to shut down your linux PC with your mobile !

- Installation
git clone https://github.com/mehdiirh/LazyHelper.git && cd LazyHelper
LazyHelper
You will be asked to create a superuser, please do it to use authentication system.
Run:
sudo bash install.sh && source venv/bin/activate
Yay !
Now you can run your LazyHelper:
./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8081 # <- you can change the port
Connect your phone and PC to same network and access it from your PC local ip address :
192.168.*.*:<port>
- [Optional] Set host name
sudo nano /etc/hosts
Add this line after 127.0.0.1 localhost:
127.0.0.1 <your-host-name> # like: mehdi
Execute this command:
hostnamectl set-hostname <your-host-name>
Reboot!
Now you can access your PC from your-host-name.local ( like: mehdi.local) from any device on your network
