JetKVM

JetKVM runs Linux on a RockChip RV1106G3. It encodes video in hardware at 1080p and 60 fps.

Yours to customize

JetKVM runs Linux with Buildroot. Turn on developer mode, add your SSH key, and change what you want.

Developing

The case of JetKVM is die-cast zinc, trimmed by CNC and plated with copper under its finish. Zinc is nearly three times denser than aluminum, so JetKVM stays in place with all four ports connected.

No standby USB power? Take JetKVM PoE

Both models are the same device. JetKVM PoE also takes power over Ethernet.

Powered by the target computer

Most computers keep their USB ports on when they are off, so JetKVM stays on too.

Powered by the network

If your computer turns its USB ports off, JetKVM PoE takes its power from the Ethernet cable.

Press the power button, from your browser

JetKVM has a port for extensions. Each one adds power control to the web interface.

Start a PC that is off

The ATX Extension connects to the motherboard. It presses power and reset, and reads the power and disk lights.

ATX Extension

Power-cycle a device that hangs

DC Power Control goes between a device and its DC supply. It switches the power, and measures voltage, current and power.

DC Power Control

The entire JetKVM interface, on the device

Keyboard and mouse, text paste, virtual media, JetKVM Cloud, Tailscale and Home Assistant, with updates over the air.

JetKVM Web Interface

See and control it

KVM stands for keyboard, video and mouse. You see its screen and type and click as if you sat in front of it.

Ctrl + Alt + Delete

Fix it without being there

Mount an ISO and pick it as the boot device. To the computer, JetKVM is just a USB drive and a keyboard.

Up to 4K with OS Services

Coming soon to JetKVM: a service on the target computer adds 4K video, a shared clipboard, a terminal and file transfer.

2. Update the firmware from the vendor ISO.

3. Reboot and check the boot order in the BIOS.

A device in Home Assistant

Press a power button or mount an image from your automations, over MQTT.

Set it up

Control it from any browser, from anywhere

The interface is on the device. Reach the device, and you have the interface.

Works in every modern browser

On your network

Type the address that JetKVM shows on its display. There is no account, and no internet is needed.

Over the internet

Sign in to JetKVM Cloud. Your browser and JetKVM then talk directly over WebRTC.

JetKVM Cloud

On your tailnet

With Tailscale on the device, JetKVM is a machine on your tailnet with a name of its own.

Set it up

All of it, open source on GitHub

The firmware, the web interface and the cloud are public. Read them, change them, or run your own.
