How to build on Linux

Run below on Linux or Mac (works on Windows too, however you may need to slightly modify some commands, e.g. change wget to curl.exe -O):

git clone https://github.com/JelleBuning/rustdesk.git
cd rustdesk 
git switch fix_build 
cd flutter/web/js

# Install protoc first, see: https://google.github.io/proto-lens/installing-protoc.html
npm install ts-proto
# Only works with vite <= 2.8, see: https://github.com/vitejs/vite/blob/main/docs/guide/build.md#chunking-strategy
npm install vite@2.8

# Required for yarn build
npm install yarn -g
npm install typescript -g
npm install protoc -g

yarn build

cd ..

# About details of yuv converter, check this https://github.com/rustdesk/rustdesk/issues/364#issuecomment-1023562050
wget https://github.com/rustdesk/doc.rustdesk.com/releases/download/console/web_deps.tar.gz
# Decompress to the current directory
tar xzf web_deps.tar.gz

cd ..

# Good Luck!
flutter run -d chrome

Currently, yuv converter and vp9 are the bottleneck

How to build with Docker

Run below on Linux or Mac:

• Begin by installing flutter for Linux or macOS
• Setup the flutter app locally:

git clone https://github.com/JelleBuning/rustdesk.git
cd rustdesk 
git switch fix_build
cd flutter/web/js

# Install protoc first, see: https://google.github.io/proto-lens/installing-protoc.html
npm install ts-proto
# Only works with vite <= 2.8, see: https://github.com/vitejs/vite/blob/main/docs/guide/build.md#chunking-strategy
npm install vite@2.8

# Required for yarn build
npm install yarn -g
npm install typescript -g
npm install protoc -g

yarn build

• Create a Dockerfile with the following content under flutter directory:

# Install operating system and dependencies
FROM ubuntu:20.04

ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive 

RUN apt-get update 
RUN apt-get install -y curl git wget unzip libgconf-2-4 gdb libstdc++6 libglu1-mesa fonts-droid-fallback lib32stdc++6 python3 clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev
RUN apt-get clean

# Download Flutter SDK from Flutter Github repo
RUN git clone https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git /usr/local/flutter

# Set flutter environment path
ENV PATH="/usr/local/flutter/bin:/usr/local/flutter/bin/cache/dart-sdk/bin:${PATH}"

# Run flutter doctor
RUN flutter doctor

# Enable flutter web
RUN flutter channel master
RUN flutter upgrade
RUN flutter config --enable-web

# Copy files to container and build
RUN mkdir /app/
# I was unable to build web app from dockerfile 
# So instead I built it locally and commented the "flutter build web" in this file
COPY . /app/
WORKDIR /app/
# RUN flutter build web

# Record the exposed port
EXPOSE 5000

# Make server startup script executable and start the web server
RUN ["chmod", "+x", "/app/server/server.sh"]

ENTRYPOINT [ "/app/server/server.sh"]

• Create server directory under flutter
• Create a server.sh file with the following content under flutter/server directory:

#!/bin/bash

# Set the port
PORT=5000

# Stop any program currently running on the set port
echo 'preparing port' $PORT '...'
fuser -k 5000/tcp

# Switch directory
cd build/web/

# Start the server
echo 'Server starting on port' $PORT '...'
python3 -m http.server $PORT

• Build the docker image:

docker build -t rustdesk-web-client .

• Run the docker image:

docker run -p 5000:5000 rustdesk-web-client

• Open your browser and go to localhost:5000 to see the web app

RustDesk Web Client using existing Docker image

If you do not want to build the docker image yourself, you can use the image I built and uploaded to Docker Hub

• Pull the image:

docker pull keyurbhole/flutter_web_desk

• Run the image:

docker run -p 5000:5000 keyurbhole/flutter_web_desk

• Open your browser and go to localhost:5000 to see the web app
