Builds on the M6a-g MVP (d07e98e) with five user-facing features that
take the in-browser remote-control client from "demo toy" to "workable
for daily use", plus user-facing documentation.
M6h — Text clipboard sync (both directions)
- Host → browser via Clipboard{format: Text} → navigator.clipboard.writeText.
- Browser → host via Cmd-V/Ctrl-V keydown intercept → navigator.clipboard
.readText → Message{clipboard}, sent BEFORE the V keystroke so the
host's paste hotkey lands on the freshly-synced text.
- Handles both single-format Clipboard (older peers) and MultiClipboards
wrapper (peers ≥ 1.3.0; gated by clipboard.rs:is_support_multi_clipboard).
- Switched printable-with-modifier hotkeys (Ctrl-C etc.) from Unicode to
Chr payload — host's process_unicode does key_sequence(char) which
ignores modifiers, breaking copy/cut; process_chr respects them.
- Firefox refuses navigator.clipboard.readText() by default — accepted as
a known browser limitation, host → browser direction works regardless.
M6i — Multi-monitor switching
- HUD picker shown when peer_info.displays > 1.
- On change: SwitchDisplay + CaptureDisplays{set:[idx]} two-message dance
— required for clients ≥ 1.2.4 (we send "1.4.0"). Without the follow-
up, switch_display_to leaves both video services subscribed and
switching display 0 → 1 → 0 doesn't restore display 0.
- Mouse coords offset by the active display's virtual-desktop origin
(DisplayInfo.x, .y). Without this, clicks on display 2 landed on
display 1 because both share canvas (0,0) but only display 1 has
origin (0,0) in virtual-desktop space.
M6j — Quality / FPS / mute controls
- Image quality preset (Low/Balanced/Best) → Misc{option: {image_quality}}.
- Custom FPS (15/30/60) → Misc{option: {custom_fps}}; host caps at 30
unless allow_more_fps is advertised.
- Mute toggle additionally sends Misc{option: {disable_audio: Yes/No}}
so the peer stops encoding audio while muted (saves CPU + bandwidth).
M6k — Auto-reconnect on transient drops
- session.recv() throw → reconnect with exponential backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s,
8s, 16s, 30s, 30s, capped at 30s, max 10 attempts.
- Dim overlay sits on top of the canvas during retry; canvas keeps
last-known frame for visual continuity.
- Auth errors (password/signature) bail immediately — no point retrying.
- User options (mute, image_quality, custom_fps, current display)
re-applied to host on each successful reconnect, since host treats
every session as fresh and resets to defaults.
- Architecture: `session` is a let-binding mutated on reconnect; HUD
button closures read it at click-time so they automatically retarget.
Input modules (mouse/keyboard/clipboard) get a Proxy that forwards
method calls to whatever session is current — avoids re-binding
window/canvas listeners on each reconnect.
M6l — H.264 video decode (Annex-B + SPS-derived codec string)
- decode/bitstream.ts: iterate Annex-B NAL units, derive avc1.PPCCLL
from the keyframe's inline SPS (host's hwcodec defaults to high
profile; a hardcoded baseline string would make WebCodecs refuse the
stream).
- Defer H.264 decoder configure until first keyframe arrives.
- VP9 codec string corrected from level 1.0 (vp09.00.10.08) to level
5.0 (vp09.00.50.08) — wrong level was probably forcing software
decode in some browsers.
- Default prefer flipped to VP8 (cheapest software encoder; H.264 path
stays implemented for hosts with hwcodec/nvenc).
M6m — docs/CONFIGURATION.md "Web client" section: routes, browser
matrix, network requirements (relay reachability + reverse-proxy WS
upgrade), feature status table, codec selection rationale, the
recv/dec/draw HUD diagnostic, build commands.
Bundle: 535 KB / ~75 KB gzipped.

RustDesk Server Program
Self-host your own RustDesk server, it is free and open source.
How to build manually
cargo build --release
Three executables will be generated in target/release.
- hbbs - RustDesk ID/Rendezvous server
- hbbr - RustDesk relay server
- rustdesk-utils - RustDesk CLI utilities
You can find updated binaries on the Releases page.
If you want extra features, RustDesk Server Pro might suit you better.
If you want to develop your own server, rustdesk-server-demo might be a better and simpler start for you than this repo.
