rustdesk-apt-repo-nightly

Important

This is unofficial RustDesk apt repo, what I can say is trust me bro, it is your decision to trust me or not.

Note

You're viewing Nightly channel, click me to check latest channel.

Note

Same thing but RPM is also available.

This repo will use morph027/apt-repo-action to create repo, and deploy to GitHub Pages.

The .sh script is written by ChatGPT, it will fetch the release data from GitHub API and use jq to parse JSON data and find the asset URL.

Architectures

This repo privides following architectures

• amd64 (x86_64)
• arm64 (aarch64)
• armhf (armv7)
• i386 (x86_32) (Actually nothing, just prevent error if your system enabled i386.)

And armhf only has sciter verion.

Update frequency

• Nightly: Every 3 AM UTC, because RustDesk's Nightly will build a little over 2 hours.
• latest: Every Saturday

Install/Upgrade RustDesk

sudo apt update && sudo apt install rustdesk

Update to same version number of nightly

Because RustDesk didn't change its version number or add special identify when releasing nightly, so you could run

sudo apt update && sudo apt reinstall rustdesk

to upgrade manually, still better than download manually.

Caution

Don't asking me to doing this.

FAQ

Not needed anymore.

I got i386 error

If you got the warning like this

N: Skipping acquire of configured file 'main/binary-i386/Packages' as repository 'https://xlionjuan.github.io/rustdesk-apt-repo-nightly main InRelease' doesn't support architecture 'i386'

This is because you enabled i386(32bit) on your apt, mainly because you're a developer or you have installed Steam 32bit library, you can ignore this, but it is annoying! Let's fix this

Deb822

Uncomment the line with Architectures:

Older style

Comment the line starts with deb, and uncomment the line that has arch=amd64
