By default the OS runs in read-only mode, as an embedded system should. This prevents damage to the memory card due to a sudden power outage.
* **VNC server**
The managed server and its BIOS can be accessed using a regular VNC client which supports JPEG compression.
* **IPMI BMC**
Use `ipmitool`, `ipmiutil` or any existing network infrastructure that supports IPMI to monitor and manage the server's power.
* **IPMI BMC and Redfish**
Use `ipmitool`, `ipmiutil` or any existing network infrastructure that supports IPMI to monitor and manage the server's power. Redfish and `redfishtool` supported too.
* **Wake-on-LAN**
Pi-KVM can be configured to power up a managed server using WoL. This will be available in the Web menu.
* **Extensible authorization methods**

* To use IPMI BMC you need to set up an appropriate account and run the `kvmd-ipmi` daemon (`systemctl enable --now kvmd-ipmi`). Although Pi-KVM supports the IPMI protocol, we strongly recommend that you do not use it outside of trusted networks due to the protocol's [insecurity](https://github.com/NitescuLucian/nliplace.com.blog.drafts). Refer to the file `/etc/kvmd/ipmipasswd` to configure IPMI account.
