    This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support. This Lynxroute AMI provides self-hosted hbbs (rendezvous) and hbbr (relay) components for running RustDesk without relying on public infrastructure. Ed25519 keypair generated per instance at first boot, both services run as non-root, and CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base. AGPL-3.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.

    WHAT IS RUSTDESK SERVER

    RustDesk Server is the self-hosted backend for the RustDesk remote-desktop client - a pair of Rust binaries (hbbs rendezvous service and hbbr relay service) that coordinate peer-to-peer connections between RustDesk desktop and mobile clients without going through any public infrastructure. The rendezvous service assigns peer IDs, exchanges public keys and brokers NAT hole-punching; the relay service forwards the encrypted session when direct connections fail. End-to-end encryption is signed by an Ed25519 keypair generated per instance, so clients can verify they are talking to your server and not a public one. Local SQLite for peer ID registration. AGPL-3.0 license - community alternative to TeamViewer and AnyDesk SaaS, all session metadata stays inside your VPC.

    WHAT THIS AMI ADDS

    Security hardening:

    • Ed25519 keypair generated per instance at first boot
    • Both hbbs and hbbr run as dedicated non-root system user
    • UFW firewall - only required ports (21115, 21116 TCP+UDP, 21117)
    • fail2ban, AppArmor

    OS hardening (CIS Level 1):

    • CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
    • auditd, SSH hardening, Kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced

    Compliance artifacts:

    • SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
    • CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
    • CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

    Highlights

    • RustDesk Server self-hosted: Ed25519 keypair generated per instance at first boot, both hbbs and hbbr in one AMI - your remote desktop sessions never touch public RustDesk infrastructure.
    • CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
    • End-to-end encrypted sessions: the relay server only passes encrypted traffic - session content is never visible to the relay. AGPL-3.0 license, fully auditable.
