How to take backups

Dear fellow PiKVM users,

How should I back up the configuration of my PiKVM V4?

With appreciation,

Bojan

Hi @bojan ,
The main files you might want to backup are the /etc/kvmd/overrides.yaml and any modified files in /etc/kvmd/override.d/ and then any custom EDID files you might have uploaded.

/etc/kvmd/override.yaml, /etc/kvmd/htpasswd and /etc/kvmd/tc358743-edid.hex are the main ones per the developer.

Dear @ewspikvm ,

Thank you for the list. Are all custom EDID files in /etc/kvmd with suffix “.hex”? In other words, do they match the glob /etc/kvmd/*.hex?

With best regards,

Bojan

By default there is only 1 file there, you can name them pretty much anything you want when you copy them in or import them, but the kvmd-edidconf tool makes it pretty easy to see the active one or set a new one.
