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.

    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?
