Timing is everything! Love your videos and thanks for mentioning in the discord group. I cant wait to follow your step by step instructions this weekend when i have some downtime. Remotely is still awesome and with Rustdesk, a killer combination to have in my toolbox. Thank you Brian.
My absolute pleasure!
Remotely seems. To have been forgotten. Last update Aug 2021, new owner May 2022, still no updates...
Super nice walkthrough and going through a lot of details, thank you!
My pleasure.
I love your videos, thank you. I don't follow all of your instructions, but I watch what you do and see the features and if it is what I need or just want. I add it to my lab. Thank you for all of this. As being a sysadmin and searching for good softwares is hard to come by. But you show some of the best if not the best. Thank you.
I’m glad you like the stuff I find. I try to present the best options out there in the open source world.
I have just renewed my TeamViewer License a few days ago. But I am still happy to know it was the last time. THANK YOU for making me discover this great software, and your channel.
Great to hear!
Great stuff once again Brian. We had Rustdesk on our hitlist for a while to cover in a video and you did great.
Thank you my friend! I appreciate it!
Well done video. Straight forward and to the point. I stood this up in less than an hour. Works as well as AnyDesk.
Thank you, hope it serves you well.
I've been searching for this for a long time. Thank you very much.
Glad I could help
This tutorial is amazing and you are really good at teaching !! great job sir !
Glad it was helpful!
Awesome. What a timing of your video. Just right at the time of requirement. First time onto your channel and subscribed with bell notifications :)
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for this video. Ive been looking for a TeamViewer alternative for a couple years now and this is the best alternative yet!
Glad it was helpful! Make sure to check out the follow up video on securing your connections.
Super useful tool, thank you for sharing. I am going too install it
My pleasure
This is the best guide I found for rustdesk configuration.
Glad it was helpful.
Glad to find something similar to TeamViewer with a relay server I can host myself. There's still some kinks in the Android package regarding hostname resolution and private DNS. That aside, this is on the top of my list regarding new self hosted software.
Glad it's a solid option. Make sure to let the dev team know about the Android issues, and let them know you appreciate their efforts with a Github star, a nice comment, etc.
Very cool...definitely a great asset for those that do remote desktop assistance!
Glad you like it. Make sure to check out the follow up video on security as well.
Wow! This looks great! I will install and try for sure.
Liked and subscribed 😜
Awesome! Thank you!
I will for sure try this!!! Great video!!!
Please do!
Very nice!!! Thanks for sharing!! This is info is worth its weight in gold! Subscribed!
Thanks for the sub, and glad you like the video.
Thanks for the video, I'm a first time viewer and new subscriber. I never heard of this to before this video and although it's a little more involved to get setup than the time I have available at the moment, I do plan to revisit. Thanks and God bless 🤓
Definitely do. I have some other videos on Docker, NGinX Proxy Manager, etc that can give you a better base if needed.
looks awesome :) ill defo take it for a spin... thanks for sharing
You are welcome.
👽 I'm just glad I found you. Look forward too going through your channel video catalogue. Cheers big ears!!! 👽
Awesome! Thank you!
Good alternative to Anydesk since they just went the Teamviewer route.
I'm really loving RustDesk. Excited to see what the next iteration brings.
can you explain your words here, being new to this area i want to know from your experience and knowledge instead of searching online
Been using this for months, it's a really great piece of software. Performance is insanely good, and it deals really well with multi monitor setups too compared to other tools i've used. no matter if from mobile or laptop, it just does the job really well.
Glad to hear about the multi-monitor support.
You know if it is possible to remote control IOS devices instead of only screen mirroring ?
@@NamikageJoel19 I haven’t checked in a few years, but at that time it was not allowed.
And the fps? Also higher then the rest?
@@evraya1 FPS itself is high, but internal servers are laggy in Europe due to their ping/distance. So use your own and it will work very well.
I REALY like the way you explain every command. Most tutorials just say "Paste whatever there is in description and hope I am not trying to destroy your system" ;)
Not everyone who will install this is using Linux every day and they may not know what the -R means or why you need to put "username:group" in a command etc.
Glad it's helpful. I try to keep it in mind as I go along.
Opposite for me. I figure if you don't know about the chown command, SSH keys or Docker, you probably shouldn't be fiddling around with something like this app. Really could have skipped that stuff.
@@shineymcshine And people are suposed to learn how? Those kind of videos that show you in practice how to use something and explain why something happens step by step are best for learning. And most of the time when you ask Linux related question on a forum you et one of 2 answers:
1. Use man
2. Google it
;)
@shineymcshine you really could have skipped that stuff. TH-cam provides you the tools to do so.
Meanwhile those who need to see that stuff, can see that stuff because he takes the time to put it in as content.
super good content m8. You explain things very well
Thanks, and glad you like it.
I've had no problem whatsoever with the setup and the connection is pretty fast, I shall say. I've tried (almost) all of the commercial RDP tools that are out there, but this particular open source software suits my needs in the best way possible. thank you for uploading this video, you're a great man!
Super glad it’s working well for you.
partly closed source you mean
Thank you - cool video! I use Traefik as a reverse proxy, because I usually proxy stuff to a container.
Glad you like the video. You can certainly use a reverse proxy for this if the proxy can deal with ports outside of 80 and 443. In my case, I just port forwarded on my home router to the vm I run this on in docker.
Nice! Looks the best alternative to TeamViewer so far. Looks exactly like TV.
I'm looking for a solution hybrid between TV and Remotely. Where I and my coworkers can access their machines remotely. Like, having a dashboard as in Remotely and at the same time allowing people to connect using ID and Password.
This is definitely a great option. Make sure to check out the show notes for the Security aspects, so you can get everything setup properly and keep your machines safe.
Hey, great video :) One question on the windows side, are you able to access UAC prompts? So when you need to install i.E. some software, often windows security pops up and asks if you really want to install it (or asks for credentials)
Connecting on my internal lan to my windows VM it does work with the UAC.
So far, in my testing I was able to click the prompts.
Great stuff! Thanks for this one!
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Hey man, very clean, interesting and professional. Good sNice tutorialt.
Glad you liked it!
great tutorial, thanks so much :)
You're very welcome!
Hi Brian, another great video...can't believe I had not watched it!
Glad you liked it.
So glad i've found your channel ! Rich content that we can really use. By the way is there any opensource alternative to RDS and RCB (remote connection broker) ?
Check out RPort shownotes.opensourceisawesome.com/rport-remote-machine-management/ and MeshCentral th-cam.com/video/pGBIjBGqlfI/w-d-xo.html. Those may be what you're looking for.
Great tool. Thanks for making this type of videos. Everytime i come to this channel, i find a new cool piece of software to play with (and use it).
Did you get the Addressbook working?
I haven't tried it yet. ir, so far, remembers the machines I've vistied right on the main screen. Not sure if there is some limit to that.
@@AwesomeOpenSource it seems like they removed this for adding it in a future paid „Pro“-Version. 🙁
I'm currently using meshcentral for all my clients. I also use it for temporary remote desktop and that works great
Love MeshCentral. I feel like MeshCentral serves a slightly different purpose to RustDesk. RustDesk to me is more client support (like call in and get someone connected), vs. MeshCentral which is really Remote Machine Management.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Yeah, thats true, but I treat most of my clients computers as managed machines. I install meshcentral just with the desktop access prompt. Most of my clients are either elderly people who just want it to be as easy as possible and fully trust me with technically always having access to their machine. And I obviously also have business customers and there I remotely manage all there machines anyways
HI Brian, very informative video. I wanted to ask an unrelated question though. How do you open ports on your machine to public? My ISP has ports blocked and they are quite resistant towards any port opening requests. Not sure what can I do about it.
If all ports are blocked by the ISP, then you'll have to use an inexpensive VPS like DigitalOcean, Linode, etc; or setup a VPN like Wireguard that can call out to a server without port forwarding. You could use something like TailScale for that.
You can also enable direct IP access - and you don't need your own server for "local" connections over your local network. You are using IP address instead of ID during connection. I'm using this to manage kids computers around the house.
But sometimes things don't work as expected - for example pressing enter or backspace doesn't work for some remote applications. Anyway perfect piece of software!
Indeed for local it's even easier if you want it to be. I wanted to show the full server setup as it's helpful for folks who may need to access machines when away from home, for family, etc. But direct IP is absolutely possible as well.
Thanks for another great portion of open source! In nano you can use Ctrl+S to save files :-)
Thanks for the info!
except that he showed NOT "fully open source" it was partly open, partly closed source. The address book is compiled into the binaries, but the source code does not include it. If you pay for license, you cannot compile it yourself, you have to use binaries, and then you also have to host and maintain it, and for that privilege you get to pay them $120/year. No thanks.
Been using nightly for a while now, because I had key repeat issues using linux as controlling side. I was surprised at how well it works with Android. Total control. Works great.
It is awesome software for sure.
Yes. This is just what I needed to know!!
Glad I could help.
wow thank you im useing rustdesk im a linux user i want to thank you i love it this rust desk really works well for being free thank you very much its also very easy to use very easy more easer than any sever networks iv used iv connected all my computers and its freee
It is indeed, and make sure to check out the follow up video I just posted on security in rustdesk as well.
Brilliant! I installed into my debian linode vps, works like a charm! I haven't used the script because I already had docker, just manually installed compose and adjust the iptables rules. Thank you, veeeeeeery useful!!!! The footprint is very low, my vps has only 1 core and 1 Gb RAM, no need for more. The advantage is the vps bandwith which is like 5 gbps. So, in order to use an encrypted connection I suppose that the key should be used into both clients, right? Thanks again man!
Glad it's working, make sure to check out the folow up I just release on the security side. I didn't go into enough detail on the first video, and people have mentioned it in the comments, so make sure to check it out.
Thanks for the videos. Pro-tip for you:. To copy your ssh keys to remote server use ssh-copy-id
I use that pretty regularly, just did it the long way round this time.
I use Google remote desktop for things related to this. Works AMAZINGLY! Super simple to use.
Yes, but also controlled 100% by Google.
it doesn't work on mint.
super tuto, merci beaucoup.
My pleasure
Thanks for Your information
Any time
This is cool. Hopefully, it gets even faster with a better compression algorithm. Supporting multiple monitors would be great. Thanks for sharing the video.
I've not seen much lag at all. It's not something to use for gaming remotely or anything, but it's great for simple desktop support.
@@AwesomeOpenSource That's awesome. Thank you.
its really good, fast and finally open source, for team viewer replacement its going to need that address book, maybe a rolling code password, and to work on terminal servers as thats important for teamviewer :)
It needs improvement for sure, but what a great start.
Thank you so much!
You bet.
this look interesting! thx gonna probably test it
Hope you like it!
appreciate your efforts
It's my pleasure
I'll make this bigger for the people on mobile. Every time I am like that's me! Thank you
Glad it helps. I try to remember as much as I can.
Very good. Thank you.
My pleasure, and make sure to jump over to the Rustdesk github,a nd post a thnks to the devs there as well.
good info! I use wayland so thanks for the facts.
You bet, hopefully they can add wayland support soon.
Does all the traffic proxy through the server, or once the connection is established it redirects the traffic directly from support person to rust client?
I believe all traffic is relayed through the server, but don't quote me on that. I only come to that conclusion as there are really 2 servers that are spun up in the docker side... a Rendezvous Server, for finding other clients, and a Relay server...the "Relay" name makes me think its' relaying all traffic.
@@AwesomeOpenSource No, it tries P2P with NAT first, only relay if NAT fails.
interesting... at my previous job we used Bomgar, might be looking into this for personal use too...
Nonfat is really great corporate level stuff, and priced accordingly. But for me, this will do just fine. Hope it will for you as well.
Amazingly complicated. Congratulations for RustDesk devs.
I didn't find it at all complicated considering you can setup and run the server, and own the entire infrastructure. If you're looking for a simple download anad go, then a hosted option will be best.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Official server is too lag to use here in Brazil. It's really complicated. I would that is almost impossible. Not only me, on Discord every day show up someone aks for help and giving up later because it's very close to impossible. It should be really easy. Just a .EXE installer, 1 config page and done. Just like any other program.
I want to know if that web portal @31:16 is some sort of pre-canned dashboard I can setup for my own home lab. I have never seen that one before. (Edit: oh and I just discovered your channel... so far I like your content. Subscribed!)
Check out my videos on Dashy. That's my Dashboard. Glad you like the channel, and Welcome!
No, you must pay for the license to obtain it, and that source code is missing from the repository. If you buy a license you must accept running precompiled binaries on your system that has the address book and possibly malicious code. In otherwords, partly open source, until you pay $120 a year to host it all yourself and maintain it. What a rip off.
They claim only business users would want/need an address book which is pure BS I am personal and would need it too. I have many many computers, and get banned from Anydesk/Teamviewer because they claim wrongly that I am a business. Basically strong arming me to buy a business license when I am not a business. I decided go eff yourselves and uninstalled.
When I asked about this, they not only closed the ticket, they locked it from anyone else being able to view it, because they were getting pushback on their stupid licensing scheme. When I opened another ticket under "ask a question" they then removed the "ask a question" as an option from the issue ticket database. They are censoring the licensing talks because people keep questioning it and they're so petty they're removing contact options.
thank you for making it larger for mobile devices
My pleasure!
I've been looking for a more affordable option for one of my GoToMeeting clients (his choice, not mine) since he's between jobs at the moment. And while he now has trouble affording the GTM subscription, he still very much needs help with his job-hunting efforts and other misc. tasks. He's a non-tech-savvy older gentleman and Rustdesk looks like an easy-to-use alternative for him. Plus, it means I can avoid the janky GTM web interface on my Linux laptop when I'm on the go. Thanks for sharing! 👍
I really like Rustdesk, this team is doing some incredible work. I need to do an update video in fact.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Would love an update video!
Currently, exploring mesh central it's been super useful so far very little you can't do with it.
Mesh Central is awesome! Serves a bit of a different purpose to RustDesk IMO though.
Hey looking at your setup can I ask about the KDE middle sitting bottom bar... How did you set that up .....also the system monitor you have in the main bar, can you point me in the direction of what that is
The system monitor was a widget I added. I think it was just in the main widgets list for taskbar widgets. The centered task bar icons was just editing the taskbar, and adding a spacer to the left and right of the taskbar. This forces it to center essentially.
Looks amazing but I think I'll wait until someone makes an installer. Thanks for the video!
An installer for which part? There are .deb and .rpm for linux, as well as an experimental .appImage, but .exe for Windows, and .pkg for MacOS.
Thank You
You're welcome
Another great open-source tool. Thanks for introducing this gem to us. My question is can I just test it using my Fedora machine with docker or should I have to adhere to your script which forces us to use the operating systems listed up there? Thanks again!
You should be able to run any distribution you want for the server if it runs Docker.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thanks!
Well done, this is a great video. I was able to set it up by following along. Is there a web admin interface like the paid version has?
No, nothing as far as web admin that I'm aware of.
Does it work for unnattended access? My biggest usecase those day is access my workstation from my laptop, or my office computer from home(or vice-versa). Also, is it possible to black out the screen when connected? Because if I work remotely, I don't want the people in the room to see my screen if I forgot to shutdown the screens.
Yes it is. Just get the password, then the first time you login through a remote connection, you tell RustDesk to save the password. In the future connections, it's a simple click to connect.
31:17 Nice, What is the application you use to follow all your "Home Lab" stuff?
I use Dashy. I have a couple of videos on how to set it up and use it. It's really great!
Thanks for sharing ❤️
can this be used on Godaddy / HostGator/InMotion? or does it need to be an independent debian/ubuntu bare bones appliance without apache LAMPP server?
Also, for testing, can I just edit the config file with local IP and test on my LAN?
1. Yes, you can absolutely just you your LAN ip. 2. I don't think you can install this on preset web hosts like those. You need a VPS or Home server.
@@AwesomeOpenSource I just installed it successfully! Thanks so much for the great HowTo! I have been looking for alternative to TeamViewer as my access to it will be severed at the end of the month. I tested on several PC's and appears to work great. Do you know if there is an "admin" page? In teamViewer, I have remote PC's organized by "departments" and have around 75 remote PC's in it. I see a "favorites" tab, but not a way to divide PC's into groups. Is there a way to do so?
Thank you.
My pleasure.
Thanks my friend;
No problem 👍
Wicked video. got this working inside my network. But trying to get this work through KEMP load balancer and cloudflare proxy. Any recommandations or video on who one might get this setup?
You'll have to ask over on the RustDesk forums, or their reddit page. I'm not real sure how to get it to run through all of that.
Im wondering what system monitor you have in your kde windows bar?
That is just their built in Network monitoring widget.
thanks for video
Most welcome
This needs some protections against being used by scammers. For instance it should tell users where the person connecting is located. And it should _not_ have features such as blanking the user's screen or disabling their mouse and keyboard.
Yes it should. Working remotely to fix problems and the last thing needed is the end user jumping in. I've had countless times when I haven't disabled end user input (teamviewer feature) and the customer jumps on and starts doing stuff. Just because a feature can be abused doesn't mean it shouldn't be there.
I agree with both of these ideas. Yes, it sucks that scammers can also use these tools, but I love that these tools are available. Best thing to do is make the suggestion for enhancement on the Github for Rustdesk.
The latest version of Rustdesk is now available as an appimage. I haven’t tried it out as yet.
It is indeed. I have had no issues with it so far on a Kubuntu 22.04 system, but haven't tried it on any others yet. I know some folks have reported some problems, but I hope they'll continue to refine it and make it available.
Great video and I have it saved as I'll want to come back in the future and set up a server. I've been using Rustdesk for about 3 months. I have one windows 11 machine that won't seem to allow me to do unattended connect. I have to have that person click Accept. All my windows 10 machines let me connect unattended. I like Rustdesk's display better than Anydesk.
Awesome! I have really enjoyed using it, and am looking forwrad to their next update.
Any chance the Rustdesk server will run in an LXC Container in Proxmox instead of docker?
Yep. I'm sure it will.
Seems to work really well on my local lan. If your going to host on your own server what are the security implications as per hacking the open ports?
If you want to access it via the internet, I highly recommend looking at their instructions for using the encryption key as well. You can find it in their docs here. rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/install/#key As for the open ports, you do have some risk if running it on your home lab, but you can choose which ports to open, and set them accordingly in the docker-compose file. Not really mitigation, but this is how the client softwrae communicates to the server.
@@AwesomeOpenSource I have been looking for something like this for over a year as I bleed to TV. Iam using the pub key combo setup during install. I am not going to run it in a docker but on possibly a VM like I am now or just bare metal. I have a HP 350 server in the role of a firewall. Currently, I use TV for my company. I just wonder how secure the ports are from being hacked. I understand that rust is pretty resilient. Just wondering about any security hardening that should be done. I want to thank you very much for your video and I have now subscribed to your channel. I will donate to 'the cause' of course as long as it does not get abandoned. That would leave me in a spot.
crtl+alt+t will usually open default terminal in Linux. At least in Debian systems
It does indeed. Great tip, thank you.
Is it possible to use tailscale network for the relay server instead of the public server IP so no port forwarding required?
I presume so. I haven't tried it, but no reason it wouldn't work.
Very cool, looks like its almost based off same software as Anydesk
I think the concept is for it to be similar enough that it's easy for someone to switch if they want to.
This is great. I want to set it up for my company. Like TeamViewer, but we need access to remote machines (without the client giving us something) from an address book is this a thing?
I would say if you are looking for an RMM (Remote Machine Management) check out my latest video th-cam.com/video/DZ0Ocwga43w/w-d-xo.html where I compare 4 open source tools for this, and see if you like one of the others better.
This. I needed this.
Glad I could help.
This is way better than Remotely. Gonna give it a shot. The only thing I see that it doesn't have is unattended access.
Edit: I've contacted the developer to see if they could do a modified version of the Rustdesk exe for Windows to auto-connect to my server instead of explaining to everyone how to change the connection server. Also, there is no way I see to do actions on the remote computer like Ctrl + Alt + Del.
I figured unattended access out. 😄
Yeah you can just remember the password for the machine or enter it each time. And at the top there are some special actions in a lightning bolt icon I believe, when you are connected.
Great questions, btw.
@@AwesomeOpenSource have you figured out the Address Book yet? It asks for a username and password, yet I don't have it. There is nothing on their website about either.
Hi. Thanks to you, I am using RustDesk to help my family and friends.
I like to step up now and I have signed up for the Oracle cloud free tear. I installed ubuntu and installed Rust desk self hosted.
However, since I like to use that Oracle server for more services and docker stacks, I like to use Nginx Reverse Proxy. The situation I have now is that I dont know how to forward all the needed ports also for the security part of it.
Any chance you can create a small tutorial how to use Nginx for services that run several ports for a single app/self hosted server?
Thanks i advance anyway.
I think you can try to proxy those ports, but you need to add more entries in the 2nd tab of NGinX proxy Manager (Custom Locations). I haven't tried it myself, but I think it should work.
Just tested the Windows client and it looks like it first runs as a portable app, with the in-app option to fully install it. Great for one-off assistance tasks.
Yep, it's really flexible.
Is there a panel at the server to monitor connections or at least a list that shows connected clients?
Not at this time, no. I think it's something they may consider for future releases.
@@AwesomeOpenSource thx! And it is an awesome tool! Great explanations!
Thank you Brian. I assume that remembering the password is pretty much like unattended access. What about Privacy mode where the remote screen goes black or goes to the lock screen once we have connected. Similar to what happens when using Microsoft's Remote desktop.
For remote access, I have been prompted when the desktop locks, or is not yet logged on for a user, and I have been able to enter login credentials. Can't say that will always be the case, but so far it seems to work fine for me.
@@AwesomeOpenSource Would be nice if we had the option to have the remote desktop immediately go to the lock screen upon initial connection. There are times when the person sitting on the remote side need not see what tasks are being performed by the host (me in this case) 😁
@@PeterBatah If you'd seen the tech support scammers do their thing, you wouldn't say that. Screen blanking is a terrible feature used primarily by scammers in Kolkata.
Hey Brian, first time on your channel. Question: Can I run this on a Raspberry pi 4 4Gb?
Found this on Reddit, maybe it will help. www.reddit.com/r/raspberry_pi/comments/v4iqfe/rustdesk_finally_released_a_raspberry_build_an/
@@AwesomeOpenSource Thanks I'll have a read. thank you for finding that. and great video btw, it has given me an idea to get out of using Teamviewer for the family, as my kids and wife have Team Viewer on all their PCs cause if something goes wrong they call "Tech support dad" lol
thanks for asking for the app image version. as pop os swiched to pipewire and the .deb version of rustdesk depends pulseaudio and i cant seem to get that for pop 22.04
Pop, out of the box uses Wayland as well, so you'll have to switch it to xorg for Rustdesk at this time.
Ive been using RD for past 3 months or so, and its fantastic, this is my go to remote desktop tool, not using TV anymore.
We deployed RD to all our corporate mac laptops and have our own relay server.
That is awesome! It's great to own your own data and security. Make sure to drop a few bucks on their donation site from your company if you can...keep RustDesk open and going. Best!
Can they give u control so if you get promoted for uac you still have control to enter username and password. Also does it auto reconnect on a system reboot?
I’m not understanding the first question, but no auto reload on disconnect or reboot that I’ve seen.
This is actually a very good question. TeamViewer and AnyDesk both have the same issue.. if the remote user is not admin of his PC and you run an application as admin, you get a nice black screen instead of the user/passwd window.
If I am going to open the server ports to the internet in order to admin some rustdesk clients what precautions are prudent for security? Im thinking some type of port attacks ect.. on the server side?
The ports can be a security risk, but it' required in order for this to function. Of course, everything on the internet uses ports to communicate, so there's always a risk. Make sure to setup the encryption I show in my follow up video as well.
Good evening:
Is it possible to install the Rustdesk client on an old server with windows 2003 server to be able to take remote control of it?
Thank you in advance
I have no idea. I think you'd just have to try it and see. I'd be surprised if it worked.
ODOO is an amazing alternative to SAP and can be self hosted as well :)
I'll check out ODOO again. it was one I looked a couple of years ago, but just didn't get into at the time. Thanks for the suggestion.
@@AwesomeOpenSource many companies could actually save tons of cash and improve security and privacy by using Linux and open source. an entire state here in Germany banned Microsoft 365 out of schools unless it can be proven it's usable GDPR compliant. Good luck on that.....
Another state announced starting plans to get away from Microsoft and US tech giants and one other is already working on that for years now
Great Thk!
difficult to use without a 443 port :(
For this, you really just need the ports 21115 through 21119 forwarded through your firewall to the server. Several TCP, and I believe 21116 is UDP an dTCP.
Great Software. Rport don't work in my case. Thanks for publishing this video.
You bet, hope it helps.
at 19:10 you mentioned about customizing the client app. Please elaborate how to do it.
On my follow up video, i talk about how you can setup the security keys for Rustdesk, and how to rename the windows executable to have the keys auto discovered from the filename. Check out that video for more information on it.
@@AwesomeOpenSource got you. Still any help regarding my concern will be appreciated
There's problems with your installer, as of 2022-07-10 working from the net-installer version of Debian 11.3.
1> Need to make sure lsb-release is installed.
2> Need to make sure sure curl is installed.
3> I don't know if I ran into Portainer problems because of the above issues, but I had to restart portainer by running [ docker stop {id} ] then [ docker start {id} ] as root. (Later I find out that there's some kind of timer on the initial setup even before getting logged in for the first time which kills the portainer instance)
Let me see if I can address these.
