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?
