  • I’ve had good experiences with Rustdesk. The client is open-source and the no-cost server components (ID and Relay servers) are self-hostable. The remote server works on X11 and Windows. I use this script to run XFCE+Rustdesk in a headless session:

    export SERVERNUM=69
    export SCREEN_SIZE='-screen 0 2560x1440x24'
    export DISPLAY=":${SERVERNUM}"
    export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=x11
    
    xvfb-run --server-num="${SERVERNUM}" --server-args "${SCREEN_SIZE}" startxfce4 & disown
    sleep 1
    flatpak run com.rustdesk.RustDesk & disown
    

    Sunshine + Moonlight is also a good choice. I have Sunshine installed on a box at home and use Tailscale to connect to it from the Moonlight client. At 1440p 60 FPS it has no visible compression artifacts and responsive enough for gaming.












  • The problem is that syncing between devices is not implemented in KeePass itself but through an external tool (Nextcloud, Syncthing, or whatever else). The sync client will only see the ciphertext and won’t be able to tell which records have been changed, only that two different binary files have a common ancestor and are in conflict.

    The most obvious solution is to lock and close the database when it’s not in use (which is a good practice from a security perspective too), and to sync immediately when it is changed.
