Nice explanatory video. I use it on my Raspberry PI (4 and 5) that are located at bus stations connected to two TVs showing arrivals and departures panels, like a kiosk. When I need to access graphically I use Rustdek and when I need to access the terminal I use Cloudflare's Tunnel directing it to the cockpit application. Free Software is life.
Good. Teamviewer is a good product but has been a pain in my ass for years with its incessant nagging. Glad someone finally came out with something like this.
Nice video! The MSP tech stack must include RustDesk for remote control, strong backup protocols, and Thirdlane Multi Tenant PBX to ensure communication channels never fail.
Been selfhosting this for a few months now for simple tech support for friends and family and been working great across various versions of Windows and Linux!
If you are already running tailscale, you don't need to host the server, you can do a direct IP connection using the tailscale IP. It's also less latency and laggy that way, because it isn't hopping through the relay server.
opensourceisawesome did a video a long time ago but I am glad bigger channels are reviewing it
I use it to connect to some of my friends devices when support is needed. I am impressed with it. I used to use Remote utilities, but it disconnected to often was sluggish to a point of being unusable.
This is life changing, thank you sir! My raspberry pi serves RustDesk I can connect my work laptop, gaming PC, personal laptop and ipad.
This is incredible and wish this had come out 15 years ago. Thanks for letting us know!
thank you for all the beautiful videos ... i have learned very much from you ... hello from Greece
I recently started using it around the house for connecting to various machines like HTPCs and VMs. Makes it so much easier for running updates and troubleshooting because I can do it all from my main rig with multiple large monitors and better keyboard/mouse. I don't use the server, just direct connections saved as favorites. When my wife hollers at me from the other room that something is wrong with Netflix, I can just log in real quick to initiate a reboot as any good help desk would 😏
Running this on a Truenas Scale container, pretty straight forward and simple to install. The self-generated key is readily available in the main container's log right after installing via Truenas' GUI, so you don't have to go to a shell and drill down to it.
You can disable the wayland option by uncommenting the option in the custom.conf file under /etc/gdm or gdm3 folders. Had to do this with a few Ubuntu VM's I'm running. There's actually an orange box on the interface that mentions this. Great tutorial as usual.
As always, a solid video on things that you go in depth in for feature sets and other nuance things
Seeing a video on tacticalrmm would be epic.
Setup this up recently, zero issues using the the tailscale IP for the ID/Relay for all clients.
13:06 didn’t knew about that feature. Huge risk management feature. Thanks for the video
Thanks Lawrence, you just saved me significant money!
@LS i was wondering why you guys pull the video, but good to see you put it back up, i take it was because you did not block out our public IPv4 in some of the areas? Anyways all good.
