The whole architecure of Mandos is very plugin-based, it will therefore likely not be hard to add. But I am not sure what you are asking for? The Mandos server will, by default, unlock all clients, without asking. There is support for no

An equivalent, but simpler, solution would be to use a network-based KVM, like PiKVM. You connect a USB connector to the PiKVM so it can simulate a keyboard (and mouse), an HDMI connector so it can show you what’s on the server screen, and

Despite the “tang/clevis” system being too clever by half (and even more complex), it is essentially very similar. Mandos, though, is much simpler; you can actually understand it, since it uses standard components and protocols like D

You’re assuming a controlled reboot. Mandos was initially created to deal with intermittent power failures. It’s also good for kernel panics.

No mention whatsoever of the $TERM environment variable. sigh Outputting raw escape codes and hope that they work is not how you do it. This is not how any reasonable library (or bash, or git, etc.) does it. These programs and librar

I said “Info”, not “Texinfo”. But you can build Info files from Texinfo. apt install python3-sphinx apt-get source python3.13-doc cd python3.13-3.13.5/Doc make texinfo cd build/texinfo make info
