    It seems self-hosted is free now. Maybe they are working towards the same free self-hosted and paid hosted business model with the Web Beta:

        Could sb. check the licensing of https://www.hoptodesk.com ?
        (I mean the Cloudron compatibility in that respect)
        It's apparently a fork of Rustdesk.

        FYI @girish

          Looks like it's GPL
          https://gitlab.com/hoptodesk/hoptodesk/-/blob/main/LICENSE

          Afaik that shouldn't be an issue with using it on Cloudron.

          I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

            @stbg Great find!

            I seem to remember the RustDesk one-man show that didn't answer all community questions related to the open source server part, was a bit of an outstanding question as to the motives and trustworthiness.

            Difficult though, as I also think there might have just been some cultural bias and shyness issues too.

            This fork looks a bit better at explaining itself.

            Rare to see FOSS on GitLab first nowadays, that's interesting. Despite it still being quite the disrupter in the space.

            Worth a read:

              Ok, super, so as license is good, could you please add it, @girish ?

              @marcusquinn, true, FOSS being first on GitLab is rare, but it happens, see Baserow.

              Although I'd still like to know more about who is behind HopToDesk.

              What I don't understand with RustDesk is that the dev has an amazing star history on Github, but then hasn't figured out the business model – which is blocking him.

              With licensing being not clear, it can't be here. Nice rhym 🙂
              aka on Cloudron.

                I'm confused. What license is not clear?

                Rust Desk and HopToDesk are clearly both AGPL-3.0 license :

                https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/blob/master/LICENSE
                https://gitlab.com/hoptodesk/hoptodesk/-/blob/main/LICENSE

                  I am not sure what is open source and what is not.

                  https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/issues/30 says the "API Server" is not. https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/issues/26 says "it is not ready yet". https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/issues/20 then says it is free and open source.

                  Looks like they are trying to figure out the business model.

                    @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:

                      @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 !

                            https://rustdesk.com/blog/2024/10/rustdesk-web-client-v2-preview/

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

                            https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-pro/faq/#8-add-websocket-secure-wss-support-for-the-id-server-and-relay-server-to-enable-secure-communication-for-the-web-client

                            This would be really great! (some nginx stuff)

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