* fix(drm): drop a frame equal to the previous one, as the other capturers do The producer grabs on a timer, so a still screen reached the encoder as the same frame every tick and the client decoded about 30 frames per second of nothing new (rustdesk#16449). The x11, pipewire and quartz capturers drop a repeat with would_block_if_equal; the drm capturer now does the same. A regression test checks that a repeat is not encoded again and that the next new frame is. The frame helper of the tests now differs per call, and the 180 test forgets the frame its last case repeats on purpose. * fix(drm): a frame whose encode failed is not dropped as a repeat The capturer marked a frame as seen when it returned it, so when its encode failed and the screen then stayed still, every later grab compared equal to it and it was never sent: the client kept the previous image, and a hardware encoder never reached its failure count to switch away. handle_one_frame now also says whether the frame was encoded, and when it was not the loop calls TraitCapturer::forget_last_frame(), a new method whose default does nothing. The DRM capturer then returns the next repeat instead of dropping it. The DRM capturer also stops keeping a copy of the last frame: it compares the new buffer with the one it returned last before replacing it, and a turned frame is turned into a spare buffer first. * fix(linux): x11 and pipewire do not drop a failed frame as a repeat either Both capturers drop a frame equal to the one they returned last, so they had the same hole as the drm one: a frame whose encode failed was not sent again while the screen stayed still. They now forget it when the loop says so. * fix(linux): every video run starts by forgetting the last frame A pipewire recorder outlives a restarted run while another display keeps the session open, and so did the frame it returned last. A run restarted by an encoder switch or a new subscriber then dropped the first repeat and sent nothing until the screen changed. The capturers of the other paths are built fresh for each run, so for them the call does nothing. * fix(drm): keep the repeat drop in the drm capturer, with one repeat a second The shared part of the three commits before is reverted: TraitCapturer, the video_service loop, x11 and pipewire are as on master again. So is the restructure of frame() from the second commit: the drop is again the one of the first commit, would_block_if_equal on the frame returned last, as the other capturers do. A repeat is dropped until a second has passed since frame() last returned a frame, so a frame whose encode failed reaches the encoder again a second later even if the screen stays still. The tests check the drop, the repeat a second later, and that the second starts over after it. * fix(drm): a frame is a repeat only when its format matches too The same bytes as BGRA and as RGBA are two pictures when red and blue differ, and the convert path can return either, so a change of format clears the saved frame and the new one goes out. The 180 test no longer checks a turned repeat: nothing reported asked for it. * fix(drm): compare a frame with cur before replacing it, without a copy saved_raw_data copied every changed frame (8 MB at 1080p). The previous frame is still in cur when a new one arrives, so the bytes and the format are compared with it before the swap; a rotated output turns the frame into a spare buffer first. The 180 test checks the turned repeat again, since that path compares on its own now.

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.
