JetKVM

Overview

JetKVM is a compact, open-source hardware KVM-over-IP device that lets you remotely control any computer at the BIOS/UEFI level — with full keyboard, video, and mouse access. It streams 1080p video at up to 60 FPS with sub-100ms latency using H.264 encoding over WebRTC, and works even in headless or crashed system scenarios where a normal remote desktop agent would be useless.

JetKVM connects directly to a target machine via HDMI and USB, with no software required on the host. Remote access is available through a local web interface or optionally through the open-source JetKVM Cloud. The hardware is fully open source and extensible via an RJ12 port for add-ons like ATX power control and serial console access.

You can pick one up on Amazon.

netboot.xyz Support

JetKVM has built-in support for netboot.xyz. From the JetKVM web interface you can mount netboot.xyz as a virtual drive, allowing you to boot directly into the netboot.xyz menu on any connected machine without physical media.

This makes JetKVM a powerful tool for remote OS provisioning, recovery, and diagnostics — you can network-boot a machine from anywhere and run the full netboot.xyz menu over the remote KVM connection.

To get started, load one of the netboot.xyz ISO images as a virtual drive in the JetKVM interface:

Boot the target machine from the virtual drive and the netboot.xyz menu will load over the network.
