KVM for home server ?

a year ago by Salcie to c/sysadmin

Hi there, looking for a KVM for my home server to fix it remotely when having an important issue
because wel... My home server isn't at MY home but at my mother's home

I was looking at nanoKVM-USB which I would plug to a raspberry pi, enabling and disabling the remote app according to my need to avoid unnecessary security issues, maybe even unplug it and ask my mother to plug it when needed, what do you think of such a solution ?

Thanks !

So I've bought the nanokvm-usb. Why:

  • I needed it quickly and was available
  • the idea of going through another server for secutiry seemed better: I control the updates and security fixes
  • well tested on the internet

the product itself costed around 50€ and I found a used mini pc with wireless connection for 25€

it was easy to install, works fine and is of good quality
