Anydesk On Raspberry Pi



Raspberry Pi is a low-cost and compact single-board computer as small as size of your palm. Though not powerful enough to perform complex jobs, it is still capable of serving purposes of academic study, hobbyist interest, and very light-weight multi-purpose server.

Once we finished install Raspbian OS on Raspberry Pi, if you like to connect to Raspberry Pi to demo students on how to do something or to control your Raspberry server remotely, then the popular remote desktop software tools listed below are your options:

Teamviewer

Actually why I wanted to install Anydesk is because it is simple to use and the Raspberry Pi is located 300 kilometres away in a small village from my location (Bangalore India). There my dad is using Raspberry Pi 4 4gb model running Ubuntu Mate 64bit 20.04lts as a desktop computer. AnyDesk is a remote maintenance solution for 28 languages and 8 platforms. Run AnyDesk portable or installed, ready within couple of seconds. Find AnyDesk for your platform in the Download section. See also: StartUp and Close AnyDesk for differences of the portable and installed version. The installation can be performed via Command Line.See also: Automatic Deployment.

Comparing with Raspberry Pi’s built-in VNC, I prefer using TeamViewer or Anydesk because it is faster and UI is more intuitive. With such remote desktop software, remote desktop session will be a lot easier. Then, what is next? Let’s remotely install and configure ownCloud or configure NextCloud server so we can sync contacts, calendar and tasks wherever we go.
