Self-host your own RustDesk server, it is free and open source.

How to build manually

cargo build --release

Two executables will be generated in target/release.

  • hbbs - RustDesk ID/Rendezvous server
  • hbbr - RustDesk relay server

You can find updated binaries on the releases page.

If you wanna develop your own server, rustdesk-server-demo might be a better and simpler start for you than this repo.

Docker images

Docker images are automatically generated and published on every github release. We have 2 kind of images.

Classic image

These images are build against ubuntu-20.04 with the only addition of the binaries (both hbbr and hbbs). They're available on Docker hub with these tags:

architecture image:tag
amd64 rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest
arm64v8 rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest-arm64v8

You can start these images directly with docker run with these commands:

docker run --name hbbs --net=host -v "$PWD:/root" -d rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest hbbs -r <relay-server-ip[:port]> 
docker run --name hbbr --net=host -v "$PWD:/root" -d rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest hbbr

or without --net=host, but P2P direct connection can not work.

docker run --name hbbs -p 21115:21115 -p 21116:21116 -p 21116:21116/udp -p 21118:21118 -v "$PWD:/root" -d rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest hbbs -r <relay-server-ip[:port]> 
docker run --name hbbr -p 21117:21117 -p 21119:21119 -v "$PWD:/root" -d rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest hbbr

The relay-server-ip parameter is the IP address (or dns name) of the server running these containers. The optional port parameter has to be used if you use a port different than 21117 for hbbr.

You can also use docker-compose, using this configuration as a template:

version: '3'

networks:
  rustdesk-net:
    external: false

services:
  hbbs:
    container_name: hbbs
    ports:
      - 21115:21115
      - 21116:21116
      - 21116:21116/udp
      - 21118:21118
    image: rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest
    command: hbbs -r rustdesk.example.com:21117
    volumes:
      - ./hbbs:/root
    networks:
      - rustdesk-net
    depends_on:
      - hbbr
    restart: unless-stopped

  hbbr:
    container_name: hbbr
    ports:
      - 21117:21117
      - 21119:21119
    image: rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest
    command: hbbr
    volumes:
      - ./hbbr:/root
    networks:
      - rustdesk-net
    restart: unless-stopped

Edit line 16 to point to your relay server (the one listening on port 21117). You can also edit the volume lines (L18 and L33) if you need.

S6-overlay based images

These images are build against busybox:stable with the addition of the binaries (both hbbr and hbbs) and S6-overlay. They're available on Docker hub with these tags:

architecture version image:tag
multiarch latest rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:latest
amd64 latest rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:latest-amd64
i386 latest rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:latest-i386
arm64v8 latest rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:latest-arm64v8
armv7 latest rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:latest-armv7
multiarch 2 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2
amd64 2 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2-amd64
i386 2 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2-i386
arm64v8 2 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2-arm64v8
armv7 2 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2-armv7
multiarch 2.0.0 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2.0.0
amd64 2.0.0 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2.0.0-amd64
i386 2.0.0 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2.0.0-i386
arm64v8 2.0.0 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2.0.0-arm64v8
armv7 2.0.0 rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:2.0.0-armv7

You're strongly encuraged to use the multiarch image either with the major version or latest tag.

The S6-overlay acts as a supervisor and keeps both process running, so with this image there's no need to have two separate running containers.

You can start these images directly with docker run with this command:

docker run --name rustdesk-server \ 
  --net=host \
  -e "RELAY=rustdeskrelay.example.com" \
  -e "ENCRYPTED_ONLY=1" \
  -v "$PWD/data:/data" -d rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:latest

or without --net=host, but P2P direct connection can not work.

docker run --name rustdesk-server \
  -p 21115:21115 -p 21116:21116 -p 21116:21116/udp \
  -p 21117:21117 -p 21118:21118 -p 21119:21119 \
  -e "RELAY=rustdeskrelay.example.com" \
  -e "ENCRYPTED_ONLY=1" \
  -v "$PWD/data:/data" -d rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:latest

Or you can use a docker-compose file:

version: '3'

services:
  rustdesk-server:
    container_name: rustdesk-server
    ports:
      - 21115:21115
      - 21116:21116
      - 21116:21116/udp
      - 21117:21117
      - 21118:21118
      - 21119:21119
    image: rustdesk/rustdesk-server-s6:latest
    environment:
      - "RELAY=rustdesk.example.com:21117"
      - "ENCRYPTED_ONLY=1"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/data
    restart: unless-stopped

We use these environment variables:

variable optional description
RELAY no the IP address/DNS name of the machine running this container
ENCRYPTED_ONLY yes if set to "1" unencrypted connection will not be accepted
