Manual Installation

https://github.com/techahold/rustdeskinstall

https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/releases/tag/1.1.16

Web Client

If you do not need web client support, the corresponding ports 21118, 21119 can be disabled.

Web Client:

• https://rustdesk.com/web/

When WebSocket is enabled (ports 21118/21119 are open for the web client), hbbs/hbbr trust the X-Real-IP / X-Forwarded-For headers of incoming WebSocket connections to determine the real client IP, so that the client IP is preserved when the WebSocket traffic goes through a reverse proxy (WSS).

Firewall ports

hbbs:

• 21114 (TCP): used for web console, only available in Pro version.
• 21115 (TCP): used for the NAT type test.
• 21116 (TCP/UDP): Please note that 21116 should be enabled both for TCP and UDP. 21116/UDP is used for the ID registration and heartbeat service. 21116/TCP is used for TCP hole punching and connection service.
• 21118 (TCP): used to support web clients.

hbbr:

• 21117 (TCP): used for the Relay services.
• 21119 (TCP): used to support web clients.

Note: This standard compose.yml file uses host network mode as recommended by the RustDesk Documentation for performance and simpler firewall rules.

• https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/self-host/rustdesk-server-oss/docker/
  • "For most Linux deployments, Docker Compose with network_mode: "host" is the simplest and most reliable option. It keeps the setup repeatable, makes upgrades easier, and avoids extra port-mapping complexity when host networking is available."

--

If you want to do the non Host mode, and specify the ports:

services:
  hbbs:
    image: rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest
    ports:
      - "21115:21115"
      - "21116:21116"
      - "21116:21116/udp"
      - "21118:21118"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/root
    depends_on:
      - hbbr
    restart: unless-stopped

  hbbr:
    image: rustdesk/rustdesk-server:latest
    ports:
      - "21117:21117"
      - "21119:21119"
    volumes:
      - ./data:/root
    restart: unless-stopped
