RustDesk Server installation

Install RustDesk on Rocky 8.x using:

2. Map DNS to public IP (IPv4 / IPv6 or both)
3. Based on preference:
   • Set hostname
   • Configure history retention
   • Add swap
   • Configure postfix and logwatch
4. Install wget

   dnf -y install wget

5. Download installation script, set execute permissions and execute it

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dinger1986/rustdeskinstall/master/install.sh
   chmod +x install.sh
   ./install.sh

6. When prompted for IP/DNS (or domain), choose 2 if DNS entry has been created for public IP
7. In case of DNS entry enter preferred domain name eg (remote.example.com)
8. When prompted for "Relay not set yet" select "yes" to download configs and setup http server
9. Finally press any key to complete installation
