rustdesk
This tutorial is for users of Debian GNU/Linux who want to setup a self-hosted RustDesk instance. This tutorial is designed for a public facing instance/domain which uses an apache2 reverse proxy to serve TLS requests back to the gohttp server listening on port 8000. TLS certs are handled by Let's Encrypt and cron. This tutorial also covers where and how to obtain the API key and other parameters needed for switching RustDesk clients over to the new self-hosted relay. Before proceeding any further, make sure that port 22, 80, and 443 are already open / firewalled as you see fit and that you have already exchanged ssh keys, assigned an A record to your public facing domain, and have a bare bones LAMP stack installed. Once that's done, let's begin.
ufw allow 21114:21119/tcp ufw allow 8000/tcp ufw allow 21116/udp sudo ufw enable
Download the installer, make it executable, then run it:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/techahold/rustdeskinstall/master/install.sh chmod +x install.sh ./install.sh
You can always download the package as a .deb and install it directly. The rustdesk repository has the latest amd64. I used wget to grab this, and installed it with dpkg -i. If you take this approach, you will need to set up the hbbs/hbbr environments manually. After reviewing the code and discussing the project with members of the pubglug community, I decided the script was just fine. The script prompts the user with two questions. First, do you want to be IP-based or domain-based, I chose domain. It also asks if you want to set up the http server; I also chose yes. After the script was done, I went ahead and focused on setting up apache2's reverse proxy configs.
