HBBS Config File
Warning: I just found another link (bottom link) which totally invalidates the sample config file I have here.
Note: this is mainly taken from AI, which pretty much sucks, so don't take this as gospel. Also, RustDesk has been known to change things. However, the documentation on the config file is missing now, so I'm making a best effort
RustDesk Open Source Server can accept a config file name on invocation, allowing you to more easily manage the service. If hbbs is called as
hbbs -c /path/to/configfile
, it will appearantly read that file and configure itself on startup.
The following sample file is one taken from an AI question, as the documentation on this is sadly missing, as far as I can tell. I know that some of the options available are missing from this. I'm writing this 2025-09-29, and hope to figure some stuff out in the next few days.
