RemoteLink Agent
Cross-platform remote support agent. Streams the screen to the RemoteLink server and handles remote mouse/keyboard input and script execution.
Quick start
Run-once (portable, no install)
# Linux / macOS
python agent.py --server https://remotelink.example.com --enroll YOUR_TOKEN --run-once
# Windows — run the pre-built exe
remotelink-agent.exe --server https://remotelink.example.com --enroll YOUR_TOKEN --run-once
Permanent install (saves config, reconnects on reboot)
python agent.py --server https://remotelink.example.com --enroll YOUR_TOKEN
# Config saved to /etc/remotelink/agent.json (Linux) or C:\ProgramData\RemoteLink\agent.json (Windows)
# Start normally on next run:
python agent.py
Windows service (runs on login / system start)
remotelink-agent-service.exe install
remotelink-agent-service.exe start
Mass deployment (NSIS installer, silent)
RemoteLink-Setup.exe /S /SERVER=https://remotelink.example.com /ENROLL=YOUR_TOKEN
This silently installs, enrolls the machine, installs the Windows service, and starts it — no UI shown.
Building
# Install deps + build portable binary (all platforms)
./build.sh
# Output: dist/remotelink-agent (Linux/macOS)
# dist/remotelink-agent.exe + dist/remotelink-agent-service.exe (Windows)
# RemoteLink-Setup.exe (Windows + NSIS installed)
Enrollment tokens
Generate enrollment tokens in the RemoteLink web UI under Admin → Enrollment Tokens.
Each token can optionally have:
- An expiry date
- A max-uses limit
- A label for tracking
Protocol
The agent connects to the relay WebSocket server:
ws://<relay-host>:8765/ws/agent?machine_id=<id>&access_key=<key>
It streams JPEG frames as binary WebSocket messages and receives JSON control events.
