How to setup Rustdesk with unattended acces?

Help

Hello. I’m pretty new to Nixos, but I like it a lot so far.
I’ve been a NoMachine user for years now, and tried to install it in NixOS. But it is (according to others) nearly impossible to get it to work in NixOS.

Now I started using Rustdesk, and I like it just as much, or maybe even better then NoMachine. I got it to work on my desktop (plasma), but I’m not able to get it to work unattended.

It says the service is enabled, but as soon as I close the Rustdesk window, the connection is lost. Also I cannot connect when the user is logged out.

Does anybody know how to setup Rustdesk systemwide, with the service enabled?

I can’t get the “please use X11 if you require unattended access.” warning to go away

would love to be able to use this unattended to access my nixos box from my macos client on the road

FYI…

I just sent an email to the maintainers of the package asking them to update the package to the new version. Maybe that will change the behavior?

I have the same problem. Rustdesk (client) unattended access is the last thing holding me back from using NixOS as a daily driver. It works fine when it’s started via Plasma AutoStart, but I need it to work at the initial SDDM screen. On other distros, the default install sets up a SystemD service to start it as a service. NixOS search does not show any options. I tried to set up a SystemD service in my configuration.nix, I can’t get it to work. Does anyone have this working?
