## A cross roads
|
||||
You now either have two choices, you can either use pm2 (easier) or NSSM (a bit harder) to start the rustdesk server
|
||||
There are some benefits to using NSSM:
|
||||
- Backwards compatibility with older windows (Windows Server 2008R2/Windows 7 and earlier although untested).
|
||||
- Ideal for Windows Server
|
||||
- Auto start on boot without login (The user who created the startup entry does not need to log on for it to start).
|
||||
- Running both binaies as Services.
|
||||
- Standalone (no dependency on nodejs)
|
||||
|
||||
While the benefits of pm2 include:
|
||||
- Good idea if you run the server on the same computer as your main work computer
|
||||
- You logon regularly to the user that created the rustdesk startup entry
|
||||
- More user friendly
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing using NSSM
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing NSSM
|
||||
Please [download](http://nssm.cc/release/nssm-2.24.zip) and extract NSSM select the appropriate
|
||||
architecture to your windows system (if x86 use the contents of the win32 folder, if x64 use the
|
||||
contents of win64 folder). It is also best practice to move the binary of NSSM into the
|
||||
`Program Files\NSSM` (NSSM once started as a service, it cannot be moved from the directory it was placed in.
|
||||
thus it is best to tuck it away in Program files) directory of your Installation drive (Usually the C drive).
|
||||
It is also advisable to add the path (such as `C:\Program Files\NSSM`) to the path variable.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Checking if NSSM is installed properly
|
||||
If you've done everything correctly the folder `C:\Program Files\NSSM` (in this example I use the C:
|
||||
drive but you can use whatever drive you installed windows to or whatever path you desire) should
|
||||
only contain the file `nssm.exe`.
|
||||
|
||||
We will be using `C:\Program Files\NSSM` in this example
|
||||
|
||||
Open Command prompt and run `nssm` if you see a help page you are ready to move onto the next step
|
||||
|
||||
### Run hbbr and hbbs
|
||||
Download the Windows version of [server program](https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk-server/releases).
|
||||
Unzip the program to the `C:\Program Files\RustDesk Server` (or anywhere you desire just make sure it
|
||||
doesn't change after the service is installed). now get back to Command prompt
|
||||
|
||||
We will be using `C:\Program Files\RustDesk Server` in this example
|
||||
```cmd
|
||||
nssm install "RustDesk hbbs service" "C:\Program Files\RustDesk Server\hbbs.exe" -r 0.0.0.0 -k _
|
||||
nssm install "RustDesk hbbr Service" "C:\Program Files\RustDesk Server\hbbr.exe" -k _
|
||||
```
|
||||
**Note:**
|
||||
- You can change `RustDesk hbbs service` to whatever you desire to name hbbs the service
|
||||
- You can change `RustDesk hbbr service` to whatever you desire to name hbbr the service
|
||||
- You can change `C:\Program Files\RustDesk Server\hbbs.exe` to wherever you placed the rustdesk binaries
|
||||
- You can change `C:\Program Files\RustDesk Server\hbbr.exe` to wherever you placed the rustdesk binaries
|
||||
- You do not need the `-k _` option which is optional, it's just for better security
|
||||
|
||||
**Command templates:**
|
||||
|
||||
The command template in case you just want to copy and paste and edit.
|
||||
|
||||
```cmd
|
||||
nssm install <Desired hbbs servicename> <RustDesk hbbs binary path> <RustDesk hbbs arguments>
|
||||
nssm install <Desired hbbr servicename> <RustDesk hbbr binary path> <RustDesk hbbr arguments>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Done !**
|
||||
|
||||
(The method above has been tested on Windows Server Core 2022 Standard).
