Summary

PiKVM is an open-source KVM-over-IP software designed to run on a Raspberry Pi, offering a cost-effective solution for remotely managing computers across different operating systems. Unlike expensive commercial IP KVM solutions, a DIY setup with PiKVM can be assembled for under $100 USD, allowing users to access BIOS settings or reinstall operating systems directly from a web browser. Tailscale enhances this setup by enabling remote access to PiKVM from distant locations. The software, compatible with Raspberry Pi 4, supports video resolutions up to 1920x1200@60hz and provides remote keyboard and mouse functionality, including copy-paste and simulating ATX power controls. Additionally, it can be configured with an 8-port HDMI KVM switcher to manage multiple servers from a single PiKVM device.
