There's rustdesk for those looking for an opensource alternative

The source code for this fork seems to be available: https://gitlab.com/hoptodesk/hoptodesk

Going by the interactions listed in that issue, I'm not so sure how reliable this fork is, though.

I tried running that in docker earlier today, but didn't read through the documentation and thus didn't figure out how to get to a web UI for it. Had a brief look around and saw that it doesn't work with Wayland, so will try something else first. I'd like something similar to Guacamole (which seems to have disconnection issues with windows RDP connections) and will have a look at HopToDesk along with https://oss.rport.io/ and https://meshcentral.com/info/

Thanks! I thought HopToDesk might be worth a look as an alternative to TeamViewer, but RustDesk seems more interesting.

It probably doesn't have to, but I'd expect a fork to mention its origin and explain at least the advantages it's supposed to have.
