I've been working on a new big important feature: the ability to use custom GPIO pins for any purpose, such as connecting sensors or relays.

This release is technical preview (but stable ofc) so that you can try out the features that will then be introduced into production.

  • In this release the GPIO API was added. Now you can configure any number of switches, leds and buttons connected to Pi-KVM and act with it using API: #chat. In one of the next releases, these switches will be available in the web interface and I will write the documentation.

  • Added HTTP export handle for the Prometheus system to monitor the pi's and server's state: /api/export/prometheus/metrics with basic auth.

  • Added support for HTTP header Authorization: Basic ... to support basic auth for Prometheus (and other monitoring systems).

To update:

rw
pacman -Syu
reboot
