In Reply to: RE: can you boot up a headless mac mini? posted by bwbosler on April 05, 2017 at 14:13:35
$10 "fit-Headless" dongle should do it:

When using screen sharing to control my headless Mac Mini, I find it useful to define custom display resolutions other than the default resolutions available with such a dongle (in particular, 1680x900). I use SwitchResX for that purpose:

(Disclaimer: I haven't used that dongle myself. Before it became available, I bought the more expensive Gefen DVI Detective.)
Follow Ups:
great, the dongle gets me past the missing monitor issue. What about the missing keyboard and mouse it looks for?
Just get a cheap set and plug them in? Would really rather have nothing connected to reduce clutter in my rack. Is there another way?
thanks
Thanks Bob
Very strange, the mini would boot without a KB or mouse but my Mac Pro and iPad couldn't see it
Then I changed the name of the mini in sharing and now they can see it
no idea why, but it works so I won't worry about it
