JetKVM is an open-source KVM over IP solution (firmware and web dashboard) for remotely controlling computers via keyboard, video, and mouse. It streams 1080p60 H.264 video with 30-60ms latency over WebRTC, with optional cloud or Tailscale-based remote access.
Use cases
- remotely control a computer's BIOS or boot process
- manage headless servers without IPMI
- fix a machine that won't boot from afar
- install an operating system on a remote workstation
- access a home lab computer over the internet
- self-host remote KVM access with Tailscale or Headscale
When to choose
- you need out-of-band remote control including BIOS/boot screens
- you want an open-source, hackable IPMI alternative
- you need low-latency 1080p60 video streaming
- you prefer self-hosted or Tailscale-based access over vendor cloud
When to avoid
- you only need screen sharing for an already-booted OS (use VNC/RDP instead)
- you don't want to buy or run dedicated KVM hardware
- you need multi-monitor or high-resolution beyond 1080p60
- you need enterprise IPMI features like virtual media on arbitrary servers
