PiKVM Build and Deploy

Built a nice little PiKVM and deployed it in my NAS. The NAS is heavy and placed in a dark half-height place under the stairs so it’s awkward when things go wrong and you need hardware access.

Cool, So actually something one could build out of anything with an USB, Ethernet port. But not sure how to add the Display receiver.. They using a RPi for this as well. I don't like that it occupies Video connector. Lots of systems only have a single one

It’s kind of the point here to occupy the video out as this is a server and has no screen connected otherwise. Normally it doesn’t need one.

I have to admit, that this might be true the very most cases. But there are more reasons why servers still have a video-port.
