I'm glad projects like this exist, but I'm too lazy and more than happy to have a Pi provide a serial console and a hardware reset via GPIO over IPv6 for colocated hardware. It's much simpler ;)
- nilespotter 3y agoI thought about building one of these, but then I just switched both of my servers to boards with IPMI
- johnklos 3y agoThe problem with IPMI / iLO / iDRAC is that they're not secure. You can't safely put them on the Internet, so you need to pay your colocation provider for out of band connectivity and a separate drop. To save money, I have a switch inside of my machines and have the serial console Pi on an IPv6 address. Having a fully up-to-date, modern OS makes a world of difference.
