Hi HN,

When my headless home server inevitably goes unresponsive after a power outage or something (I know I should get a better power supply), I have to fetch my big display monitor and keyboard to diagnose and get it back online.

Does there exist a device, or is it fairly doable to make one, which would be like a RPi-400 + display which could connect via USB to view and operate the terminal? I guess secondarily, a small or handheld terminal display is really the most important piece, since plugging in a usb keyboard is fairly trivial (could android phone be used for this?).

This seemed like a project that one of you smart people would have tried out, and I just thought I'd ask.

Or if there's a much easier solution than what I've been doing, I'd love to hear.

Thanks
