MeshAgent

BetterDesk includes an optional MeshCentral compatibility layer for managing MeshAgent endpoints alongside RustDesk peers.

Overview

Component	Role
MeshAgent	Lightweight agent on managed endpoints
BetterCore	Agent-side JS pushed after handshake (consent, WebRTC, terminals)
BetterViewer	Panel web remote viewer for MNG_KVM sessions (`transport=mesh`)

Mesh is enabled by default on full installs (MESH_ENABLED=Y). Disable with MESH_ENABLED=N on betterdesk-server.service if not needed.

Operator actions (panel)

For online mesh_agent devices, the device menu includes:

Action	Description
Web Remote	KVM desktop over mesh transport
Terminal	Interactive shell
File browser	Remote files
Run command	One-shot command on agent channel
Guest desktop link	Time-limited view-only URL
TCP port relay	Browser tunnel to LAN host:port
Sleep / Reset	Power commands via MeshAgent API

Session recording: open web remote with ?record=1 for server-side .mcrec capture.

Web remote integration

Mesh KVM sessions use the same Web Remote Desktop UI with transport=mesh. HTTPS panel proxy must forward .ashx paths to the Go API (automatic with Node.js console).

Enable / disable

# Check service environment
systemctl cat betterdesk-server | grep MESH

# Disable
sudo systemctl edit betterdesk-server
# Add: Environment=MESH_ENABLED=N
sudo systemctl restart betterdesk-server

Panel HTTPS (:5443 or reverse proxy) should proxy MeshCentral-style paths to Go API port 21114.
