What is RustDeck and how to install it?
Hello friends,
Today I would like to discuss with you a very interesting tool that helps many system administrators in their daily work, but it is also convenient and useful for regular users. Today we will talk about RustDesk: what it is, who needs it, where it is used, whether it can be used for free, and how to install it on a server.
What is RustDesk?
RustDesk is a free, open-source remote access application that allows you to manage a computer or other device over the Internet. It serves as an alternative to programs like TeamViewer or AnyDesk and supports multiple operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. The key feature of RustDesk is the ability to set up your own relay server for full security and control, along with end-to-end encryption.
An important point you might have overlooked while reading all the information is that RustDesk is ABSOLUTELY FREE.
Who needs RustDesk?
This tool can be useful not only for system administrators but also for regular users. If you are an ordinary user, this application allows you to remotely connect to your family’s computer and fix any issues that arise. For technical specialists, it provides convenient management of servers, work PCs, and employee computers.
For example, if there are 50–60 people working in an office and you are the only IT specialist, walking around from computer to computer can be inconvenient. RustDesk helps in such situations and makes your daily and professional life much easier.
How to install RustDesk on a server or Linux system
Installing RustDesk on a server is quite simple. For example, to install it on Ubuntu 20.04–22.04, you only need a couple of commands:
These two commands allow you to quickly install the application on your server and then connect to it remotely.
