This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup 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 open source software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and setup 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 per instance, hbbs and hbbr in one AMI - 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: relay server only passes encrypted traffic. AGPL-3.0 license, fully auditable.

Dimension | Cost/hour |
|---|---|
t3.small Recommended | $0.03 |
t3.micro | $0.03 |
t3.medium | $0.05 |
Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you choose. Three options are available: t3.micro, t3.small, and t3.medium. All three run the same hardened remote desktop relay image. The difference is compute capacity, so pricing scales with the instance size you select. You pick the size that fits your workload and pay only for the hours it runs. There are no tiers or feature add-ons — the instance size is the only pricing variable.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
They differ only in compute capacity. The t3.micro has the least CPU and memory, the t3.small more, and the t3.medium the most. All three run the same hardened remote desktop relay image. You pick the size that matches your relay traffic and connection load.
Hourly software charges apply only while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance stops accruing hourly software charges. Note that AWS may still bill for attached storage while the instance is stopped. The software meter counts running hours only.
Each instance ships with CIS Level 1 hardening on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, firewall, fail2ban, AppArmor, and auditd pre-configured. Unique credentials generate at first boot, so there are no shared defaults. A software bill of materials and CIS Conformance Report are bundled inside for audit review.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
Version release notes
Updated to version 1.1.16.
