Wake On Lan via Network-Binding Action stopped working - Docker? Ports?

• Exactly this setup already has worked and i did not change a thing
• The only thing that has changed may be, that i swtitcht the Docker-Container my OH is running in away from host-mode to manual port forwarding

But you did. You completely change the networking. WOL uses a broadcast address on the local subnet only. By changing away from host networking your openHAB is no longer on your LAN’s subnet, it’s on the Docker subnet. So it can no longer send the broadcast to your LAN.

The docs for using openHAB in Docker does not require the use of host networking out of laziness. There are all sorts of things like this that break when you don’t.
