Rust Desk

@stbg thanks, I just asked for clarity in their Discord.

Someone (not a RustDesk dev, but someone who is aware of what's being done) replied:

Rustdesk Client - AGPL-3.0
Rustdesk Server - AGPL-3.0
The API (addressbook etc) hasnt been released yet so whether its opensource or not it wouldnt stop anything, also there are afew opensource addressbooks being worked on

I also spotted they have docs for self-hosting here:
https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/install/

This is the install script:

@jdaviescoates wow, super, thanks for figuring that out!
@girish can you add the service now? + hoptodesk? (see thread above)

OK I have installed this on a separate server - it was super easy with Docker. I did not do the "pro" version, just the OSS. The only "downside" is that you have to send a text file with ServerID (IP address) and Key (which you can get from the docker log easily). The performance is awesome - if this was Cloudron it would be amazing. Please !

The last part I have not spent time on is the ws setting to allow this to connect in a web browser:

This would be really great! (some nginx stuff)

@stevespaw Also agreed!

@girish could you have a look to newest version of rust? And would this be a possible app for cloudron?

I'd like to see this as well.

While you wait, I believe Hetzner has a disk image with this on it.

[visamp]

I'd love to have this as well. Plus 1

@girish could you give this app a chance?
