Simple Install

Don’t forget to get your license from https://rustdesk.com/pricing.html, check license page for more details.

Please read OSS installation first before doing this simple install. You can know more underlying details there.

Install

Copy and paste the above command into your Linux terminal to install RustDesk Server Pro.

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro/main/install.sh)

I recommend using the Docker image; it greatly simplifies the process of deploying the solution as well as updating it. The resource consumption is very low.

What it does:

  • Install some dependencies
  • Setup UFW firewall if available
  • Create a working directory /var/lib/rustdesk-server and a log directory /var/log/rustdesk-server
  • Installs executables into /usr/bin
  • Download and extract RustDesk Pro Services to the above folder
  • Create systemd services for hbbs and hbbr (service names are rustdesk-hbbs.service and rustdesk-hbbr.service)
  • If you choose Domain, it will install Nginx and Certbot, allowing the API to be available on port 443 (HTTPS) and get an SSL certificate over port 80, it is automatically renewed

How to Set up HTTPS for web console manually.

If the systemd service fails to start, it is probably related to SELinux, please check this.

If your client cannot connect to your server or you cannot access the web console, please check this.

Upgrade

Copy and paste the above command into your Linux terminal to upgrade your existing RustDesk Server Pro installation, this could also be saved locally and scheduled with cron.

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro/main/update.sh)

What it does:

  • Checks for new versions of RustDesk Server Pro
  • If it finds a new version, it removes the API files and downloads new executables and API files

Convert from open source

Copy and paste the above command into your Linux terminal to convert from RustDesk Server to RustDesk Server Pro.

bash <(wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server-pro/main/convertfromos.sh)

Please add 21114 TCP port to your firewall, this is additional port for web console and user login in RustDesk client.

What it does:

  • Disable and removes the old services
  • Install some dependencies
  • Setup UFW firewall if available
  • Create a folder /var/lib/rustdesk-server and copy the certs here
  • Delete /var/log/rustdesk and create /var/log/rustdesk-server
  • Download and extract RustDesk Pro Services to the above folder
  • Create systemd services for hbbs and hbbr (service names are rustdesk-hbbs.service and rustdesk-hbbr.service)
  • If you choose Domain, it will install Nginx and Certbot, allowing the API to be available on port 443 (HTTPS) and get an SSL certificate over port 80, it is automatically renewed
