JetKVM is much like nanoKVM but a slightly polised version.
What is JetKVM?
JetKVM is a high-performance, open-source KVM over IP (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) solution designed for efficient remote management of computers, servers, and workstations. Whether you’re dealing with boot failures, installing a new operating system, adjusting BIOS settings, or simply taking control of a machine from afar, JetKVM provides the tools to get it done effectively.
As far as I know, these Jets are not available for retail yet, but can be bought via their kickstarter.

Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you've got a killer remote support solution.
Weird people would downvote this. I usually don't care (still don't, lol) but someone downvoted the idea of installing a mesh VPN on this KVM, yet it's already been done.
Unless it doesn't boot.
Unless what doesn't boot, the KVM? Isn't the point that this should work even if the host is not working?
As long as the host posts it should work. If it's a hardware issue then it won't help though.
No, the OS that would be running Tailscale or Wireguard. If the OS doesn't boot, those remote access options don't work, which is where a KVM comes in handy, rather than having to hook up a monitor and keyboard.
Tailscale/Wireguard are installed on the KVM itself, not the server you are trying to access. It's just a Linux machine after all.
Ah, now I understand, thank you.
But can it run it though? Does it have enough power?
That would be the KVM OS.
Which is why adding Tailscale to this KVM is a killer solution
If the machine doesn't boot then you can use this to access the bios and boot a recovery environment of your choice remotely using pxeboot.
Excellent, thanks for the link!
