In the old days, home lab builders relied on enterprise gear with IPMI for remote keyboard, video, and mouse access. Today, there’s a much simpler solution, the Comet. This is a compact PoE-powered KVM that gives you full console access to any machine from anywhere. In this video, I walk through setup, test its performance, and show how to power and control a system using just Ethernet, HDMI, and USB. But here’s the best part, the Comet can run Tailscale, meaning you can securely access your remote systems across your Tailnet - no VPNs, no firewalls, no fuss. I’ll show how to enable Tailscale, rename the device, and even serve it securely over HTTPS using a full TLS certificate. Whether you’re managing a home lab or remote PCs, this little box might just replace your old IPMI setup entirely. Plus, we just launched a new Discord community at Personal accounts will always be free with Tailscale and can include up to 3 users and 100 devices. Get started today at Links: -
