Comment on What would you use to remotely support a computer with "LAN" access?
lambda@programming.dev 1 year agoThe thing about rustdesk is I don’t see how I could run it unless I am at the computer. Ideally, I’d like to be able to take control without having to walk through like, "look for an app called “rust desk”. Is there a way to open a desktop application through SSH so that it opens on their open desktop?
I’ve not run it on that platform, I would imagine they have similar capabilities in the Linux version.
It runs in portable mode by default, as you suggest this means it needs to be run each time.
So for unattended windows machine I installed it as a service and activated a permanent password for it. Problem solved!

Alternatively, you could set rustdesk to run on startup/login, so neither you nor the user needs to manually start it.
