Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I know about rustdesk, and some other selfhosted solutions, but just wonder, what do you use if not screen sharing in discord.

Avoid Rustdesk like the plague for security reasons.

I recommend RDP as a protocol for remote access. It takes a little setup but it can be used. It isn't fit for all use cases of course so don't take it to literally.

Okay 2 things.

  1. I haven't heard about any security issues with Rustdesk. Can you link to what you're referring to?
  2. It's strange to see someone concerned about security recommend RDP for remote access when it's a terrible idea to expose it to the internet. But maybe you mean to expose a VPN and then connect to RDP via that?

Edit: I see you have some info on the Rustdesk point elsewhere in the thread. I'll read up on that part so don't feel like you have to repeat yourself here.

You don't want to expose RDP to the internet. However, it works for a local lan or over Tailscale.
