lamco-rdp-server v1.4.4

Wayland-native RDP server for Linux desktop sharing. Native screen capture and input injection across GNOME, KDE Plasma, sway/wlroots, Hyprland, and COSMIC.

Highlights

New transports

• AF_VSOCK transport for Hyper-V Enhanced Session Mode (closes [#52]), with Hyper-V auto-detection.
• WebSocket / RDCleanPath transport for browser and WASM clients, removing the separate proxy from production deployments. This transport ships experimental in 1.4.4: it is not yet exercised end to end against the WASM client.
• systemd multi-fd socket activation: TCP, Unix, vsock, and WebSocket descriptors passed to a single binary.

Encoding

• Vulkan Video H.264 encoder (VK_KHR_video_encode_h264): cross-vendor hardware encoding on NVIDIA, Intel, and AMD, alongside the existing VA-API and NVENC paths.

Observability

• Session health sensors for PipeWire, Portal, Mutter, EGFX, and the active encoder, with live damage-source, FPS, and activity telemetry surfaced in the GUI.
• HTTP metrics server: Prometheus /metrics and JSON /health endpoints.

Reliability across compositors

• GNOME now serves many sequential RDP sessions without a restart (per-connection Mutter session lifecycle), and GNOME 49 input is restored (closes [#45]).
• KDE Windows-to-Linux clipboard file transfer fixed (binds ext-data-control-v1).
• sway / wlroots color skew (blue rendered as brown) fixed.
• COSMIC frame delivery restored; interim pointer injection via /dev/uinput.
• Linux-to-Windows clipboard file copy on native installs, and Unicode keyboard input.

Editions and licensing

Licensed under the Business Source License 1.1. Licensor: Lamco Development LLC. This version converts to Apache-2.0 on the Change Date, 2029-06-01. The Additional Use Grant covers non-profit use, a single server instance, non-commercial education or research, and the Community Edition.

The Community Edition (Flatpak and Snap) is free to use.

Community Edition note: the sandboxed editions are portal-mediated. On wlroots compositors (sway, Hyprland, and similar) they require xdg-desktop-portal-wlr active as the ScreenCast backend; the native package is the supported path there.
