JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨ (slrpnk.net)

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.

Would you need one of these per physical server, or can they connect to multiple ?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

It’s for one , but you can use a normal kvm that supports switching with the keyboard

Aw neat! Thanks for sharing 😊

Veeeery nice! I want one! (Well...maybe 2, or 3, or... 😁)

Edit: Do you know about other KVM maybe under those 69$ without screen? Personally I wouldn't need it.

There's the nanokvm, similar idea but cheaper. I have one and it's okay but a bit sore, I'm hoping the jet is faster

Wow, install Tailscale or Wireguard and you've got a killer remote support solution.

Unless it doesn't boot.

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.

No mention of what their actual target hardware platform is, so must be custom. Wonder what solutions their newly opened code can run on. Doesn't look like ESP code.

Yes, it's the OS for their custom KVM board. Released open source so it can be inspected or altered by the users of their board
