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.

didn’t i hear some off-putting shit about rust desk kinda recently?
Ive been wanting to try out rust desk for a few weeks now but im not currently in a position where I can test it out.
I saw it uses a public relay server and they have a subscription model to self host, and I’m not particularly interested in either of those options. Are you able to self host a server for free if youre just connecting to a single computer?
