I am amazed that there is an ESP that can handle this and with just 32MB of RAM: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/e...

That board still requires an HDMI module. The pi zero will support PiKVM fine with an HDMI module too.

Wait, do I understand correctly that you can only boot ISOs off a microSD card that I have to pre-load? I can’t just put in a card and load ISOs over the web interface? That makes the use case of full remote control (after plugging it in for the first time, of course) kinda moot… Otherwise, this seems to be a great product for homelab stuff :)

PiKVM allows you to load ISOs to the onboard sd card via the web interface. It just needs to be on the local disk.

What’s a decent quality IP KVM solution that’s not too expensive? We’re looking to put a dozen of mac minis in a collocation, and currently investigating solutions for remote access.

I've had zero problems with my Gli.Net KVMs

I suggest to take a look at the reviews on Amazon.

It is really hard to find on the site what kvm stands for. Guess people going there knows what it stands for but think it could be spelled out once at least.

Warning: Don't browse their documentation site, it's filled with domain-specific jargon like FPS, BIOS, LAN, HDMI and other things, and not a single one is explained first! They should clearly read "Product Websites for Dummies" again.

It's an aposematism. Everything working as intended

Kickstarter = never in stock. What's the point in all these PR pieces when there is no product?

Why even bother when these things (of another make) can be had for less than $20 on Chinese market. This artificial scarcity bullshit need to die.

I don't quite trust this class of devices to be programmed in China by who knows who. KVMs are among those things that need authentic, business-registered suppliers that hold a trackable reputational responsibility.

they allow you to upload ISOs from the web interface as well

That article seems to arrive to the same conclusion as I did (“we need IP KVM”) without offering any solid choices?

Which solutions perform well?
