PiKVM Build and Deploy - eviltoast

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.

      So what does it do?

      For me a KVM is a switch for keeb, mouse and eventually a screen (or a virtual machine :-)

        It’s a KVM in the same sense but instead of switching it provides the functionality over a web interface so that I can manage my server from my workstation or laptop instead of crawling in the space beneath the stairs where my server is if something goes wrong. Compare with IPMI.
