Initiate a Server

How to start a IronRDP server using the crates ? . Do I have to build it using the crates or does it comes with default configuration to start a server directly ?
and how to connect to the server from a client machine ?

Hi!

Currently, there isn’t an IronRDP server binary available that functions like xrdp as a standalone RDP server. We do provide foundational crates for the server-side aspect of the RDP protocol, but we don’t yet offer system-level server integration.

However, there is an example of how to build an RDP server using the IronRDP crates in our repository: crates/ironrdp/examples/server.rs

Additionally, @elmarco has been developing an RDP display server for QEMU using IronRDP, which is a great example of integrating IronRDP into a project. You can find his work here: https://gitlab.com/marcandre.lureau/qemu-display/-/tree/master/qemu-rdp
He’s also the one pushing forward the server-side implementation for IronRDP and is very knowledgeable on the project.

If you’re interested in contributing to a desktop implementation or exploring this further, please let us know!
