Getting Rustdesk integrated with Tactical RMM is extremely simple. Thanks to the amazing work from dinger1986 creating all scripts used here, and a simple tutorial to walk you through it all.
For this, you can install the Rustdesk(RD) Proxy server on the same host you use to install TacticalRMM, or a seperate host. In this example, I will be installing it on the same host TRMM is installed on (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS).
sudo apt-get update
Create a TRMM Backup in case something does not go right.
wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/amidaware/tacticalrmm/master/backup.sh
chmod +x backup.sh
./backup.sh
Set UFW Rules (If using UFW, if not sudo ufw disable)
ufw allow 21115:21119/tcp
ufw allow 8000/tcp
ufw allow 21116/udp
sudo ufw enable
Installing Rustdesk Server
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dinger1986/rustdeskinstall/master/install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh
Run through the sections of the script
Select Option 1- or Yes
This will make a small HTTP server, that you can go to to grab a pre-made PS1/SH script. These scripts automatically install the Rustdesk client configured to your Rustdesk proxy that you just installed
- These are important scripts to download to save for a later step
If the RustDesk server is behind NAT or a firewall, ensure to forward these ports
- 21115-21119 TCP
- 21116 UDP
Personally, I would not forward port 8000 (URL To grab scripts from), as it does not seem relevant past this point to have available
Open the .PS1 script in a text/code editor and copy all of the contents from the PS1
Open TacticalRMM > Settings > Script Manager > New (Top Left) > New Script
Paste the contents into the code editor, name the Script (Rustdesk- Install), ensure the "Shell Type" is Powershell and set the "Supported Platforms" to Windows. Click Save once done.
Follow the same process for linuxclientinstall.sh.
Inside of TacticalRMM > Settings > Global Settings > Custom Fields > Add Custom Field

Select "Collector Task"
Select "Save all output"
Set Alert Severity "Informational
Action Type: Script
Then select "Rustdesk- Install" script. Change the timeout time to 600 seconds (5 minutes)
Ensure to select the + sign to add the action to the task
For the schedule, run any schedule you may please. I have mine run nightly. Sometimes I will need to run manually throughout the day but this is not common. Select "Run task ASAP after a schedule start is missed"
