Is it possible to self-host RustDesk completely for free? (programming.dev)

I thought self-hosting requires, like, paid ownership of a website or something. I don't think I've ever self-hosted before and am lost with its guide.

My primary concern is RustDesk's warning about possibly shutting down its free self-hosting because of bot abuse, despite now requiring GitHub accounts. There seems to be nothing even remotely close to RustDesk, except possibly HopToDesk, which I heard is a fork of an older version or something.

It'd be nice to be able to keep this going just in case. Or are there free, E2EE servers out there that anyone knows of?

I'm just a simpleton helping a couple of boomers periodically navigate their own computers and install software. We're not even 10% as complex as what it sounds like you're doing, haha. That is cool, though; I hadn't heard of Netbird.

Ah, yeah, I forgot about that... I had tried it on Winblows and couldn't get it to work, but maybe it'll be better on Linux! Thanks for the reminder.

Totally not the software your asking about, but Remotely worked really well when I needed to help out the mother-in-law (https://github.com/immense/Remotely).
