running Trunas on a home built server with Ryzen 1700X without a GPU (headless)
from time to time I do need to see what is happening (if server gets stuck) so it is a procedure to find spare GPU in the parts bin, locate monitor and bring it to the home lab area etc so I was wondering if there is a better way.
- what can you recommend (if anything) for any 'card' that I can install to Asrock X370 motherboard that could give me 'console' and some basic iLO type functionality?
- or am I better off finding the lowest power consumption discrete GPU that TrueNAS could support , put that in, put KVM switch and forget about this?
This is homelab so multi hundred $$ solutions are probably beyond budget.
*edited for existing machine spec - Asrock X370 Taichi + Ryzen 1700X CPU + 64 GB RAM (non ECC)
Thank you for your help
