After watching Tom’s video, I have installed the rustdesk server on my homelab.
I am not wanting to set things up so that I can use it with clients outside of my network.
While I have set up the relevant port forwarding to the docker VM running rustdesk, I am not sure how it would work because the docker container does not appear to expose any ports
WAN interface
Is there something that I am missing?
Rustdesk uses the host networks option which means the container directly uses the host’s network interfaces and ports. For example docker ps won’t show port mappings because there aren’t any explicit mappings.
If you run the command docker logs <container> you can see what ports it’s using.
