KVM for home server ? (feddit.fr)

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 !

You can use a smart plug to remotely control power to the Raspberry Pi.

If you enable Wake-on-LAN in the server BIOS, the Raspberry Pi can use Etherwake to power up the server when needed.

To connect to the Pi, I would suggest using a Pi4 or Pi5 and remote into it via Raspberry Pi Connect. That will give you secure remote access to the Pi.
