- Supports self-registration and login on the front-end webpage.
- Supports displaying device information on the front end, divided into administrator and user versions.
- Supports custom aliases (remarks).
- Supports backend management.
- Supports colored tags.
- Supports device online statistics.
- Supports saving device passwords.
- Automatically manages tokens and keeps them alive using the heartbeat interface.
- Supports sharing devices with other users.
- Supports web control terminal (currently only supports non-SSL mode, see below for usage issues)
# Clone the code locally
git clone https://github.com/bryangerlach/rustdesk-api-server.git
# Enter the directory
cd rustdesk-api-server
# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py migrate
# After ensuring dependencies are installed correctly, execute:
# Please modify the port number yourself, it is recommended to keep 21114 as the default port for Rustdesk API
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:21114#this assumes you have cloned the repo into /opt/rustdesk/rustdesk-api-server and have a service named rustdeskapi set up
systemctl stop rustdeskapi
cd /opt/rustdesk/rustdesk-api-server
git pull
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py migrate
systemctl start rustdeskapiClient Downlaods: You will need to generate your own client downloads with your server and key hard coded into the program. The easiest way to do this is using github actions https://rustdesk.com/docs/en/dev/build/all/
Now you can access it using http://localhostIP:Port.
Note: When configuring on CentOS, Django4 may have problems due to the low version of sqlite3 in the system. Please modify the file in the dependency library. Path: xxxx/Lib/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py (Find the package address according to the situation), modify the content:
# from sqlite3 import dbapi2 as Database #(comment out this line)
from pysqlite3 import dbapi2 as Database # enable pysqlite3| Variable Name | Reference Value | Note |
|---|---|---|
HOST |
Default 0.0.0.0 |
IP binding of the service |
TZ |
Default Asia/Shanghai, optional |
Timezone |
SECRET_KEY |
Optional, custom a random string | Program encryption key |
CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS |
Optional, verification off by default; If you need to enable it, fill in your access address http://yourdomain.com:21114 To disable verification, please delete this variable instead of leaving it blank |
Cross-origin trusted source |
ID_SERVER |
Optional, default is the same host as the API server. Customizable like yourdomain.com |
ID server used by the web control terminal |
DEBUG |
Optional, default False |
Debug mode |
ALLOW_REGISTRATION |
Optional, default True |

Administrator Settings
When there are no accounts in the database, the first registered account directly obtains super administrator privileges,
and subsequently registered accounts are ordinary accounts.
-
Device Information
Tested, the client will send device information to the API interface regularly in the mode of installation as a service under non-green mode, so if you want device information, you need to install the Rustdesk client and start the service.
-
Slow Connection Speed
The new version Key mode connection speed is slow. You can start the service on the server without the -k parameter. At this time, the client cannot configure the key either.
-
Web Control Terminal Configuration
- Set the ID_SERVER environment variable or modify the ID_SERVER configuration item in the rustdesk_server_api/settings.py file and fill in the IP or domain name of the ID server/relay server.
-
Web Control Terminal Keeps Spinning
-
Check if the ID server filling is correct.
-
The web control terminal currently only supports non-SSL mode. If the webui is accessed via https, remove the 's', otherwise ws cannot connect and keeps spinning. For example: https://domain.com/webui, change to http://domain.com/webui

CSRF verification failed when logging in or logging out of backend operations. Request interrupted.
This operation is highly likely to be a combination of docker configuration + nginx reverse proxy + SSL. Pay attention to modifying CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS. If it is SSL, it starts with https, otherwise it is http.
