* Drag whole toolbar; snap to all four edges Today the drag handle on the remote-session toolbar repositions only the handle row -- the icons themselves stay centered at the top. This change applies the position to the entire toolbar wrapper so dragging the handle moves the whole thing, and extends snapping from top-only to any of the four window edges. When docked left/right the toolbar reflows vertically. A live ghost preview shows where the toolbar will land while you drag, with a small hysteresis bias to keep the preview from flickering near corners. The legacy 'remote-menubar-drag-x' session option is read as a fallback on first load so existing users keep their saved horizontal position; new option keys are 'remote-menubar-edge' and 'remote-menubar-frac'. Tested locally on Windows. macOS / Linux / web desktop use the same shared widget with no platform-specific calls, but I did not verify them. * Load edge independently and clamp loaded fraction Addresses CodeRabbit review on #15051: parse the saved edge regardless of whether the new fraction option is present so a partial write of frac doesn't reset the toolbar back to top, and clamp the loaded fraction to the kOptionRemoteMenubarDragLeft/Right contract so a corrupted or out-of-range saved value can't bypass the bounds until the user drags again. * Require edge activation zone to switch dock; preserve horizontal slide Per review feedback on #15051: nearest-edge-wins made a low-intent horizontal slide too easy to escalate into a high-impact orientation change (vertical reflow on left/right dock). The default drag now keeps the toolbar on its current dock edge and just updates the fraction along that edge -- the prior horizontal-slide behavior. An alternate edge is only previewed/committed when the cursor enters its 32 px activation zone; once previewed, the cursor has to move back 64 px before reverting (hysteresis at the zone boundary). * Gate multi-edge docking behind a settings toggle; default = horizontal slide Replaces the activation-zone approach with an explicit opt-in setting in Settings -> Other ("Allow docking remote toolbar to any window edge"). This addresses the concern that a low-intent horizontal drag shouldn't be able to trigger a high-impact orientation change, while still letting users who want multi-edge docking opt in cleanly. Default (toggle off): - The original horizontal slide is preserved. - The bug fix from the first commit still applies: dragging the handle moves the whole toolbar, and the position persists across collapse/expand (no more re-center on re-open). - Draggable is axis-locked to horizontal so the feedback widget stays on the top line during drag. Opt-in (toggle on): - Full nearest-edge wins with the live preview ghost and corner hysteresis; toolbar reflows vertically on left/right docks. - Draggable is unlocked for 2D drag. Reads the option via mainGetLocalBoolOptionSync so the toolbar's default state matches what the settings checkbox shows; the option key uses the allow- prefix so unset defaults to off. Takes effect on next session (setting is read at session init). The setting key (allow-multi-edge-toolbar-dock) is read by the existing local-options machinery and persists per-install without needing to be registered in libs/hbb_common's KEYS_LOCAL_SETTINGS. Can add that registration in a parallel hbb_common PR if preferred. * Fix remote toolbar drag positioning & persistence Align drag fraction calculation with the toolbar's actual travel range, keep preview sizing stable during drag, and preserve legacy horizontal position storage when multi-edge docking is disabled.

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 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.
