Build your own network KVM with a Raspberry Pi and PiKVM!

I want to control pcs over network, but a network KVM is expensive! Enter PiKVM!

You can get an image for a Raspberry Pi over at https://pikvm.org/

Tom's Hardware has a great article on how to build one with a Pi 4B:

If you want to go the cable way, a USB power blocker might be useful:
