## HTML5 console

Every server has an out-of-band console that works in the browser. It shows the boot process, BIOS and GRUB menus and lets you type as if you were in front of the machine.

```bash
avenlith server console web-01          # opens the HTML5 KVM in your browser
avenlith dedicated ipmi reset srv-4471  # power-cycle via IPMI
```

## IPMI for dedicated servers

Dedicated servers expose IPMI over a private management VPN. You can power-cycle the server, mount ISO images and read hardware sensors.

> **Warning:** > Never expose IPMI to the public internet. Avenlith management interfaces are reachable only through the console proxy or the management VPN.

## Audit log

Every console session and power action is recorded in **Project → Audit log** with the user, IP address and time.
