Yet another remote desktop software, written in Rust. Works out of the box, no configuration required. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security. You can use our rendezvous/relay server, set up your own, or write your own rendezvous/relay server.
RustDesk welcomes contribution from everyone. See docs/CONTRIBUTING.md
for help getting started.
Below are the servers you are using for free, they may change over time. If you are not close to one of these, your network may be slow.
Location | Vendor | Specification |
---|---|---|
Seoul | AWS lightsail | 1 vCPU / 0.5GB RAM |
Germany | Hetzner | 2 vCPU / 4GB RAM |
Germany | Codext | 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM |
Finland (Helsinki) | 0x101 Cyber Security | 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM |
USA (Ashburn) | 0x101 Cyber Security | 4 vCPU / 8GB RAM |

Desktop versions use sciter or Flutter for GUI, this tutorial is for Sciter only.
Please download sciter dynamic library yourself.

Prepare your Rust development env and C++ build env
-
Install vcpkg, and set
VCPKG_ROOT
env variable correctly- Windows: vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static
- Linux/MacOS: vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus

RustDesk does not support Wayland. Check this to configuring Xorg as the default GNOME session.
Wayland does not seem to provide any API for sending keypresses to other windows. Therefore, the rustdesk uses an API from a lower level, namely the /dev/uinput
device (Linux kernel level).
When wayland is the controlled side, you have to start in the following way:
# Start uinput service
$ sudo rustdesk --service
$ rustdesk
Notice: Wayland screen recording uses different interfaces. RustDesk currently only supports org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast.
$ dbus-send --session --print-reply \
--dest=org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop \
/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop \
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get \
string:org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast string:version
# Not support
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: No such interface “org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast”
# Support

Begin by cloning the repository and building the docker container:
git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .
Then, each time you need to build the application, run the following command:
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/user/rustdesk -v rustdesk-git-cache:/home/user/.cargo/git -v rustdesk-registry-cache:/home/user/.cargo/registry -e PUID="$(id -u)" -e PGID="$(id -g)" rustdesk-builder
Note that the first build may take longer before dependencies are cached, subsequent builds will be faster. Additionally, if you need to specify different arguments to the build command, you may do so at the end of the command in the <OPTIONAL-ARGS>
position. For instance, if you wanted to build an optimized release version, you would run the command above followed by --release
. The resulting executable will be available in the target folder on your system, and can be run with:
target/debug/rustdesk
Or, if you're running a release executable:
target/release/rustdesk
Please ensure that you are running these commands from the root of the RustDesk repository, otherwise the application might not be able to find the required resources. Also note that other cargo subcommands such as install
or run
are not currently supported via this method as they would install or run the program inside the container instead of the host.
