# UpSnap
::note
🎯 __Goals:__
- Install UpSnap
- Expose UpSnap with Swag
::
[UpSnap](https://github.com/seriousm4x/UpSnap) is a container that allows you to remotely power on, shut down, or put your machines to sleep. It mainly uses Wake-On-Lan (WoL) over the network and offers advanced features.

## Installation
::file-tree
---
tree:
/:
- docker:
- upsnap:
- compose.yaml
- .env
- data/
---
::
Open Dockge, click on `compose`, name the stack `upsnap`, then copy and paste the following:
```yaml [compose.yaml]
---
services:
upsnap:
container_name: upsnap
image: ghcr.io/seriousm4x/upsnap:5
network_mode: host
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- /docker/upsnap/data:/app/pb_data
environment:
- TZ=Europe/Paris
- UPSNAP_SCAN_RANGE=${SCAN_RANGE}
- UPSNAP_SCAN_TIMEOUT=500ms
- UPSNAP_PING_PRIVILEGED=true
dns:
- ${DNS}
entrypoint: /bin/sh -c "./upsnap serve --http 0.0.0.0:8095"
healthcheck:
test: curl -fs "http://localhost:8095/api/health" || exit 1
interval: 10s
```

✨ __Tip:__ Add the watchtower label to each container to automate updates
```yaml [compose.yaml]
services:
upsnap:
#...
labels:
- com.centurylinklabs.watchtower.enable=true
```
::
Fill in the `.env`, for example:
```properties [.env]
RANGE=192.168.1.0/24 # scans all devices on the local network with an IP between 192.168.0.1 and 192.168.1.255
DNS=192.168.1.1 # DNS IP to resolve domain names, typically your router’s IP
```
Deploy the container and go to `http://yourserverip:8095`. Just follow the steps to create your account!
::caution
__If it fails:__ check your firewall rules.
::
## Exposing UpSnap with Swag
::warning
UpSnap does not support multi-factor authentication. Exposing it on the internet could compromise connected machines. Do this only if you're using a multi-factor authentication system like [TinyAuth](/serveex/security/tinyauth) or [Authentik](/serveex/advanced/authentik/). Otherwise, avoid exposing it with SWAG and use a VPN like [Wireguard](/serveex/security/wireguard) instead.
::
You may want to access it remotely from all your devices. To do so, we'll expose UpSnap via Swag.
::note
📋 __Beforehand:__
We assume you've created a subdomain in your [DNS zone](/general/networking/dns), such as `upsnap.yourdomain.com` with a `CNAME` to `yourdomain.com`. Also, unless you're using Cloudflare Zero Trust, you should have already forwarded port `443` from your router to port `443` on your server in your [NAT rules](/general/networking/nat).
::
Go to Dockge, and edit the SWAG compose by adding the UpSnap network:
```yaml [compose.yaml]
services:
swag:
container_name: # ...
# ...
networks: # Connects the container to the custom network
# ...
- upsnap # Network name declared in the stack
networks: # Defines the custom network
# ...
upsnap: # Network name declared in the stack
name: upsnap_default # Actual name of the external network
external: true # Indicates it's an external network
```
Restart the stack by clicking "deploy" and wait for SWAG to be fully operational.
::note
Here we assume the network name for upsnap is `upsnap_default`. You can check the connection in the SWAG dashboard at `http://yourserverip:81`.
::
In the Swag folders, create the file `upsnap.subdomain.conf`.

✨ __Tip:__ You can use [File Browser Quantum](/serveex/files/file-browser-quantum) to navigate your files and edit documents instead of using terminal commands.
::
```bash [Terminal]
sudo nano /docker/swag/config/nginx/proxy-confs/upsnap.subdomain.conf
```
And paste the following configuration:
```nginx [upsnap.subdomain.conf]
## Version 2023/12/19
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name upsnap.*;
include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;
client_max_body_size 0;
#if ($lan-ip = yes) { set $geo-whitelist yes; }
#if ($geo-whitelist = no) { return 404; }
if ($geo-blacklist = no) { return 404; }
# enable for ldap auth (requires ldap-location.conf in the location block)
#include /config/nginx/ldap-server.conf;
# enable for Authelia (requires authelia-location.conf in the location block)
#include /config/nginx/authelia-server.conf;
# enable for Authentik (requires authentik-location.conf in the location block)
#include /config/nginx/authentik-server.conf;
location / {
# enable the next two lines for http auth
#auth_basic "Restricted";
#auth_basic_user_file /config/nginx/.htpasswd;
# enable for ldap auth (requires ldap-server.conf in the server block)
#include /config/nginx/ldap-location.conf;
# enable for Authelia (requires authelia-server.conf in the server block)
#include /config/nginx/authelia-location.conf;
# enable for Authentik (requires authentik-server.conf in the server block)
#include /config/nginx/authentik-location.conf;
include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
set $upstream_app upsnap;
set $upstream_port 8095;
set $upstream_proto http;
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}
}
```
Press :kbd{value="Ctrl+O"}, then :kbd{value="Enter"} to save, and :kbd{value="Ctrl+X"} to exit.
And that’s it! You’ve exposed UpSnap!
## Protecting UpSnap with TinyAuth
Add [TinyAuth](/serveex/security/tinyauth)'s forward-auth check directly to `upsnap.subdomain.conf`, the same way as [the TinyAuth guide](/serveex/security/tinyauth#protecting-an-app-via-reverse-proxy):
```nginx [upsnap.subdomain.conf]{26-38,41-42}
## Version 2023/12/19
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name upsnap.*;
include /config/nginx/ssl.conf;
client_max_body_size 0;
#if ($lan-ip = yes) { set $geo-whitelist yes; }
#if ($geo-whitelist = no) { return 404; }
if ($geo-blacklist = no) { return 404; }
# enable for ldap auth (requires ldap-location.conf in the location block)
#include /config/nginx/ldap-server.conf;
# enable for Authelia (requires authelia-location.conf in the location block)
#include /config/nginx/authelia-server.conf;
# enable for Authentik (requires authentik-location.conf in the location block)
#include /config/nginx/authentik-server.conf;
location /tinyauth {
internal;
proxy_pass http://tinyauth:3000/api/auth/nginx;
proxy_pass_request_body off;
proxy_set_header Content-Length "";
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Uri $request_uri;
}
location @tinyauth_login {
return 302 https://tinyauth.mydomain.com/login?redirect_uri=$scheme://$http_host$request_uri;
}
location / {
auth_request /tinyauth;
error_page 401 = @tinyauth_login;
# enable the next two lines for http auth
#auth_basic "Restricted";
#auth_basic_user_file /config/nginx/.htpasswd;
# enable for ldap auth (requires ldap-server.conf in the server block)
#include /config/nginx/ldap-location.conf;
# enable for Authelia (requires authelia-server.conf in the server block)
#include /config/nginx/authelia-location.conf;
# enable for Authentik (requires authentik-server.conf in the server block)
#include /config/nginx/authentik-location.conf;
include /config/nginx/proxy.conf;
include /config/nginx/resolver.conf;
set $upstream_app upsnap;
set $upstream_port 8095;
set $upstream_proto http;
proxy_pass $upstream_proto://$upstream_app:$upstream_port;
}
}
```
::note
The `location /tinyauth` block runs inside SWAG's own container, so SWAG needs to be on TinyAuth's Docker network to reach it by name (`tinyauth` here). This should already be set up from [exposing TinyAuth itself](/serveex/security/tinyauth#exposing-tinyauth-with-swag). If you run into an error, double-check SWAG's compose file still has that network attached.
::
::tip
✨ You can protect this app with Authentik instead of TinyAuth by opening `upsnap.subdomain.conf` and removing the `#` in front of `include /config/nginx/authentik-server.conf;`{lang=nginx} and `include /config/nginx/authentik-location.conf;`{lang=nginx}. Don’t forget to [create an application and provider in Authentik](/serveex/advanced/authentik#protecting-an-app-via-reverse-proxy).
