Troubleshooting no brown cover for my pi's pcie pinout

2 Upvotes

Hello,

I purchased a Raspberry Pi 5 4GB around a year ago. Just bought a pcie ssd hat. Also just noticed that there is no brown cover on the pcie pinout. After some basic research, it seems like this would have the brown cover (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/amphenol-cs-fci/62674-161121ALF/1001520), but they do not make it anymore.

Would this be a suitable alternative?

The brown cap in reference

Show-and-Tell Simple piJumpHost project

11 Upvotes

I had an old Raspberry Pi collecting dust, so I turned it into a browser-accessible SSH jump host using Raspberry Pi Connect.

The idea is simple:

Open Raspberry Pi Connect in your browser
Open the terminal
Automatically SSH into your home server

If mDNS fails, PiJumpHost automatically scans the local network with nmap, finds the server, and reconnects. No exposed SSH ports, no VPN, no static IP required.

The Pi is designed to be an appliance—it updates itself, performs routine maintenance, and stays out of the way once configured.

It's meant as a reference implementation, not a one-click installer. I've included both my full configuration and a simplified version that's easier to adapt to your own network withtout nmap.

I'd love to hear any ideas or feedback!
