rustdesk-server is the self-hosted backend for RustDesk, an open-source remote desktop solution. It provides the rendezvous and relay components that allow RustDesk clients to discover peers and traverse NATs securely, enabling direct or relayed connections when needed. By running your own server, you retain control over connection metadata and can operate entirely within your organization’s perimeter. The project targets simplicity of deployment while maintaining performance characteristics suitable for interactive screen sharing and file transfer. It supports common operational needs such as configuring ports, authentication modes, and relay behavior to match diverse network constraints. Together with RustDesk clients, it offers a fully open alternative to proprietary remote-access ecosystems with an emphasis on privacy and self-custody.
