An open-source remote desktop application designed for self-hosting, as an alternative to TeamViewer. - rustdesk/rustdesk

Rustdesk started as an open-source alternative to TeamViewer. Now, it offers more than just remote desktop access, making it handy for casual self-hosting.

With no need for (dyn)DNS, port forwarding, or a VPN, you can get:

  • Remote terminal
  • File transfer
  • Tunneling (similar to SSH port forwarding)
  • Remote desktop

I think it’s a solid choice if you have a simple one-server setup.

    I’ve seen RustDesk out in the wild, but never have explored it. I’ve gotten so used to MobaxTerm, but there is no Linux version. Some of the features of Mobaxterm are:

    • Multi-Tab Interface
    • Integrated X11 Server
    • SSH Support
    • FTP/SFTP Support
    • Macro Recording
    • Embedded Tools
    • Session Management
    • Portable Version
    • Plugin Support
    • Copy & paste: You only have to highlight something in Mobaxterm to copy. I find that quite invaluable.

    How close does RustDesk come to Mobaxterm other than it’s opensource and selfhostable?

      I think its a completely different use case. MobaXterm is a fancy ssh/rdp tool with some extra features, while rustdesk is an alternative to teamviewer or anydesk - tools for remote support.

      Disclaimer: I haven’t used rustdesk yet, I have no need for this use case.
