When a controller's link dies without a close reaching the peer - the only case that matters, since anything graceful already closes cleanly - the connection it abandoned keeps running here until the inactivity timeout. If the controller reconnects in the meantime, and it does, two connections for one session overlap, and everything the stale one costs is charged to the session that replaced it. The cost is not only cosmetic. A stale remote control or camera view stays a video subscriber, and the capture loop waits for every subscriber to fetch the current frame before capturing the next, for up to three seconds; a connection whose own send is blocked never fetches, so frames for the live session arrive at that rate. It stays a viewer the rate control averages in, holding the shared target down. A stale transfer or tunnel holds its own resources. And the connection manager lists it: its own same-peer dedup only drops entries already marked disconnected, which this one is not. So end it when the replacement authorizes. Same kind only: one session legitimately holds remote control and a file transfer or port forward at once, and those must not end each other, while two of the same kind under one session id is what only a link failing without a close can produce. Nothing is sent to the peer - the link it would go over is the one that just failed, and the peer that owned this connection has already moved on - and the screen is not locked, because the session is continuing rather than ending.

Yet another remote desktop solution, written in Rust. Works out of the box with no configuration required. You have full control of your data, with no concerns about security. You can use our rendezvous/relay server, set up your own, or write your own rendezvous/relay server.
RustDesk welcomes contribution from everyone. See CONTRIBUTING.md for help getting started.
Dependencies
Desktop versions use Flutter or Sciter (deprecated) for GUI. This tutorial is for Sciter only, since it is easier and more friendly to start. Check out our CI for building the Flutter version.
Please download Sciter dynamic library yourself.
Raw Steps to build
-
Prepare your Rust development env and C++ build env
-
Install vcpkg, and set
VCPKG_ROOTenv variable correctly- Windows: vcpkg install libvpx:x64-windows-static libyuv:x64-windows-static opus:x64-windows-static aom:x64-windows-static
- Linux/macOS: vcpkg install libvpx libyuv opus aom
-
run
cargo run

How to build with Docker
Begin by cloning the repository and building the Docker container:
git clone https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk
cd rustdesk
git submodule update --init --recursive
docker build -t "rustdesk-builder" .
Then, each time you need to build the application, run the following command:
docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/home/user/rustdesk -v rustdesk-git-cache:/home/user/.cargo/git -v rustdesk-registry-cache:/home/user/.cargo/registry -e PUID="$(id -u)" -e PGID="$(id -g)" rustdesk-builder
Note that the first build may take longer before dependencies are cached, subsequent builds will be faster. Additionally, if you need to specify different arguments to the build command, you may do so at the end of the command in the <OPTIONAL-ARGS> position. For instance, if you wanted to build an optimized release version, you would run the command above followed by --release. The resulting executable will be available in the target folder on your system, and can be run with:
target/debug/rustdesk
Or, if you're running a release executable:
target/release/rustdesk
Please ensure that you run these commands from the root of the RustDesk repository, or the application may not find the required resources. Also note that other cargo subcommands such as install or run are not currently supported via this method as they would install or run the program inside the container instead of the host.
