Built a nice little PiKVM and deployed it in my NAS. The NAS is heavy and placed in a dark half-height place under the stairs so it’s awkward when things go wrong and you need hardware access.
For those that don’t know what PiKVM is: https://pikvm.org/
Cool, So actually something one could build out of anything with an USB, Ethernet port. But not sure how to add the Display receiver.. They using a RPi for this as well. I don't like that it occupies Video connector. Lots of systems only have a single one
It’s kind of the point here to occupy the video out as this is a server and has no screen connected otherwise. Normally it doesn’t need one.
I have to admit, that this might be true the very most cases. But there are more reasons why servers still have a video-port.
Why else would a server have a video port?
