Linux Server - RustDesk Server - Key Mismatch about rustdesk-server

[JulianAtkins]

The documentation is pretty bad and misses a lot of important points.

First, never use the -k _ parameter because that makes rustdesk run without any protection, it will accept any key (or an empty key?)

When running without -k, both hbbs and hbbr should generate a key in the same directory. If the two executables are placed in the same directory with each other, then they will share the same key (otherwise you'd get different keys and nothing would work).

I hope the above gives you some clarity.

Noted.

So I shouldnt use -k _ ? What is the replacement ? How do i get hbbs and hbbr to accepts keys ?
Also - I have reinstalled rustdesk and the private key / pub key appeared.

[JulianAtkins]

There is no need to make adjustments, the two daemons hbbs/hbbr will automatically load the key from the current directory!

If you like, you can take a look at my systemd service scripts that I posted here: #365
