A Rust-based remote desktop application with screen streaming, remote input, shell access, file management, and system information via a web interface.

Prerequisites

Rust: https://rustup.rs

Linux (Fedora, KDE Plasma on Wayland only):

Install pnpm and Node:

curl -fsSL https://get.pnpm.io/install.sh | sh - && pnpm runtime install 26

Enable RPM Fusion:

sudo dnf install https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

Install the dependencies:

sudo dnf install \
  gcc clang-devel cmake nasm pkgconf \
  pipewire pipewire-devel wireplumber \
  xdg-desktop-portal xdg-desktop-portal-kde \
  openssl-devel glib2-devel \
  gstreamer1-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free-devel \
  gstreamer1-plugins-base gstreamer1-plugins-good gstreamer1-plugins-bad-free \

Build & Run

pnpm install && pnpm build && cargo run --release

On first run, you'll be prompted to create admin credentials.

Access

Local:

http://localhost:5000

From another device on the network:

http://<server-ip>:5000

Local Network Secure Context Workaround

If you are accessing the Remote Control panel from another device on the local network using http://<server-ip>:5000, browser features that require a Secure Context (such as client-side audio capture and clipboard share) will be blocked by default.

Chromium-Based Browsers (Chrome, Helium, Brave)

You can explicitly instruct your browser to treat the local server's insecure origin as secure:

1. Open your browser and navigate to:
   • Chrome: chrome://flags/#unsafely-treat-insecure-origin-as-secure
2. Change the dropdown menu setting for Insecure origins treated as secure from Disabled to Enabled.
3. In the text box provided underneath, enter the address of your server with the protocol and port included, separated by commas if using multiple addresses:

   http://192.168.1.100:5000,http://192.168.1.101:5000
   

4. Click the Relaunch button at the bottom of the window to apply the changes.
