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.

    I use Rustdesk to access PCs and embedded devices from other PCs and embedded devices. Mostly doing remote support to avoid driving.

    It’s easy to set up with a container-based server.

    I don’t have to care about licenses and crap like that. It just works.
