RustDesk Server Setup

This directory contains everything you need to deploy a RustDesk server on Ubuntu using Docker.

Quick Start

1. Upload Files to Your Ubuntu Server

Transfer the entire Rust_Server directory to your Ubuntu server:

# Using scp (from your local machine)
scp -r Rust_Server/ user@your-server-ip:/home/user/

# Or upload via your preferred method (SFTP, etc.)

2. Run the Installation Script

On your Ubuntu server, navigate to the directory and run:

cd Rust_Server
./install.sh

That's it! The script will:

• Install Docker and Docker Compose
• Configure the firewall
• Build and start the RustDesk server
• Display connection information

What Gets Installed

• Docker Engine - Container runtime
• Docker Compose - Multi-container orchestration
• RustDesk Server - Signal and relay servers
• Firewall Rules - UFW configured for RustDesk ports

Server Management

Use the management script for easy server control:

# Start the server
./manage.sh start

# Stop the server
./manage.sh stop

# Restart the server
./manage.sh restart

# Check status
./manage.sh status

# View logs
./manage.sh logs

# Show connection info
./manage.sh info

# Update server
./manage.sh update

# Create backup
./manage.sh backup

Client Configuration

After installation, configure your RustDesk clients with:

• ID Server: your-server-ip:21116
• Relay Server: your-server-ip:21117

Ports Used

• 21115 (TCP) - Signal Server
• 21116 (TCP/UDP) - Signal Server
• 21117 (TCP) - Relay Server
• 21118 (TCP) - Relay Server
• 21119 (TCP) - Relay Server

Files Structure

├── Dockerfile              # Docker image definition
├── docker-compose.yml      # Container orchestration
├── install.sh              # One-click installation

├── data/                   # Server data (created during install)
└── logs/                   # Server logs (created during install)

Troubleshooting

Check if services are running:

./manage.sh status

View server logs:

./manage.sh logs

Manual Docker commands:

# Start
docker-compose up -d

# Stop
docker-compose down

# Rebuild
docker-compose build --no-cache

Firewall issues:

# Check UFW status
sudo ufw status

# Manually open ports if needed
sudo ufw allow 21115:21119/tcp
sudo ufw allow 21116/udp

Permission issues:

# Add user to docker group
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
# Then logout and login again

Security Notes

• The server runs as a non-root user inside the container
• Firewall is automatically configured
• Data is persisted in local directories
• Regular backups can be created with ./manage.sh backup

Updates

To update the RustDesk server:

./manage.sh update

This will rebuild the container with the latest version and restart the services.

Support

If you encounter issues:

1. Check the logs: ./manage.sh logs
2. Verify firewall settings: sudo ufw status
3. Ensure Docker is running: sudo systemctl status docker
4. Check port availability: netstat -tulpn | grep 2111

Environment Variables

You can modify settings in the .env file:

• RUSTDESK_VERSION - Version to install
• RUSTDESK_RELAY_SERVER - Relay server address
• Port configurations
• Logging levels

After changing .env, restart the server:

./manage.sh restart
