This is a solid feature request — having TurnKey appliances suspend when idle and wake via WoL would make them much more viable for small office / home setups where power draw matters.

For anyone looking for something that works today, idle-less handles this pattern at the reverse proxy layer. It runs in Docker and sits in front of your services — when an HTTP request arrives for a suspended backend, it sends the WoL magic packet, waits for the machine to come up, and proxies the request through. The backend can go back to sleep after an idle timeout.

It's designed for exactly this kind of self-hosted setup where machines should sleep until needed: https://github.com/tvup/idle-less
