[SOLVED] tis-rustdesk-config-template

[smandel]

Hello everyone,

I've had a Rustdesk server installed for quite some time now, and I've seen that agent deployment is now possible with a WAPT package.
Currently, I'm using it on demand with the information in the binary name.

I suspect I need to enter the server information in the "rustdesk.cfg" file within the template, but in what format?

Thank you.

I used the example from the documentation to create the cfg, here https://github.com/techahold/rustdeskin ... ll.sh#L276

Code: Select all

hostname = '192.168.1.1'
apiurl = ''
pubkey = glob.glob('/opt/rustdesk/*.pub')[0]
key = open(pubkey,'r').read()
config = {"host":hostname,"relay":hostname,"key":key,"api":apiurl}
rustdesk_list = list(base64.b64encode(json.dumps(config,separators=(',', ':')).encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8').replace('=',''))
rustdesk_list.reverse()
rustdesk_cfg = ''.join(rustdesk_list)
print(rustdesk_cfg)

Rustdesk accepts the cfg format like this:

Code: Select all

rustdesk.exe --config JIDEZOD79ZED?

I'm still having trouble understanding.

Is this the content to add to the cfg file?
Does the pubkey seem to be the server-side path?
Is the template to be executed on the server?

Thank you.

[sfonteneau]

The cfg file actually contains the server's public key, yes.

The code here is fundamentally executed on the server, yes.

[smandel]

So, this code needs to be executed server-side, which will generate the configuration ID?
Then, this ID needs to be added to the rustdesk.cfg file of the template?
To deploy the configuration to the clients?
Sorry, I'm trying to understand how it works.

To put it simply

On your own machine, in a Python script, you can run this:

Code: Select all

import base64
import json


# read from /opt/rustdesk/*.pub
key = "ABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCD"
hostname = '192.168.1.1'
apiurl = ''


config = {"host":hostname,"relay":hostname,"key":key,"api":apiurl}
rustdesk_list = list(base64.b64encode(json.dumps(config,separators=(',', ':')).encode('utf-8')).decode('utf-8').replace('=',''))
rustdesk_list.reverse()
rustdesk_cfg = ''.join(rustdesk_list)
print('CFG:')
print(rustdesk_cfg)

Simply replace "ABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCDABCD" with the content of your Rustedesk server's advertisement
and replace 192.168.1.1 with the IP address of your Rustdesk server

The print command will display the cfg

[smandel]

Yes, no problem, the CFG will display.
But in the template, it shows that it's reading the rustdesk.cfg file.
What should be put in this rustdesk.cfg file?
The code output?
Thank you.

[sfonteneau]

Launch the update_package command (from the console).

The GUI will ask you for the cfg file.

[smandel]

Ah yes, OK!
Perfect.
However, we see that the password is transmitted in encrypted form in the audit data.
Where can we find it in plain text in the console?
Thank you.

Where can we find it in plain text in the console?

On the machine's audit data tab, check the "decrypt data" box.
