As if obeying some undocumented law of computing, your home server ALWAYS picks the worst time to crash. Stop me if you've seen this one before: you're on vacation and you try to stream something from your media server. It's unreachable. SSH is dead. No way to reboot it from hundreds or thousands of miles away. That is, unless you have remote KVM access. PiKVM gives you keyboard, video, and mouse control over a machine through a web browser - no expensive enterprise hardware needed. Just a Raspberry Pi and a $10 HDMI capture dongle. The catch? PiKVM runs on a read-only filesystem. NetBird needs to write auth state and WireGuard keys to disk. We wrote a step-by-step tutorial covering: → Building a DIY PiKVM from off-the-shelf parts  → Setting up an overlayfs so NetBird works on a read-only OS  → Configuring systemd services for boot persistence  → Registering the device and accessing it from anywhere No exposed ports. No VPN server to maintain. Just an encrypted WireGuard mesh with direct peer-to-peer connections. Full tutorial in link in the comments 👇
