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.

It is not just public but Foss as well. It is under the GPLv2 which is even a copyleft license.

wow, really neat design for this price range

Yeah, a bit suspicious.

Honestly I've always found the cost of KVM equipment to be super suspicious.

You need to be able to capture HDMI/VGA at very low resolution and refresh, become a USB HID host and provide this data via VNC. It's not like we need an Elgato 8k stream coming off the hardware.

Last time I went IP KVM shopping for a small server room the prices started at around 10 grand.

Is there a link to the code? I know I could probably search for it, but if you're going post about the code being public you could at least include a link to it.

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 0 points 6 months ago

you could at least

Note: here “it would be nice if” is more polite, since the least one could have done is always
