You can integrate Gorelo with any remote access tool that supports launching via a URL E.g RustDesk, Splashtop, AnyDesk, TeamViewer.
In this example, we'll use RustDesk. It is strongly recommended to host your own RustDesk server and modify the initial install script to support this.
Step 1: Create the custom asset fields
Navigate to Settings -> Assets -> Custom Fields
Add custom field with the following details
Name: RustDesk ID
Variable: rustdeskID
Add custom field with the following details
Name: RustDesk Password
Variable: rustdeskPassword
Step 2: Create the installer file
Navigate to Settings -> Asset -> Files
Add a File with the following details:
File: Upload the latest RustDesk MSI installer
Variable: rustdesk
Step 3: Create the scripts
Navigate to Scripts
Create a script with the following details:
Name: Install Rustdesk
Content:
Example#Install Rusdesk
msiexec /i $gorelo:file.rustdesk /qn /norestart CREATESTARTMENUSHORTCUTS="N" CREATEDESKTOPSHORTCUTS="N" /l*v install.log
Create a script with the following details:
Name: Write Rusdesk ID and Password
Content:
Example$RustDeskPath = "$env:ProgramFiles\RustDesk\RustDesk.exe"
# Get Rustdesk ID using the executable
$RustdeskID = cmd /c "`"$RustDeskPath`" --get-id"
if ($RustdeskID) {
# Write ID to Gorelo custom field
GoreloAction -SetCustomField -Name 'asset.rustdeskID' -Value $RustdeskID
Write-Output "Rustdesk ID: $RustdeskID written to Gorelo"
# Generate random 16 character password
$Password = -join ((65..90) + (97..122) + (48..57) | Get-Random -Count 16 | ForEach-Object {[char]$_})
# Set the password in Rustdesk
cmd /c "`"$RustDeskPath`" --password $Password"
# Write password to Gorelo custom field
GoreloAction -SetCustomField -Name 'asset.rustdeskPassword' -Value $Password
Write-Output "Rustdesk password set and saved to Gorelo"
exit 0
} else {
Write-Output "Failed to get Rustdesk ID"
exit 1
}
Step 4: Deploy the scripts via a policy
Navigate to Policies
Edit an existing policy that covers the assets you want to install and connect to via RustDesk
Add a continuous Service check for RustDesk Service. Add the ‘Install Rustdesk‘ script as a remediation step
Add the 'Write Rusdesk ID and Password' script and set to repeat daily at your preferred time
Save and Distribute the policy
Step 5: Create the Shortcut
Navigate to Asset Shortcuts
Add a new Shortcut with the following details:
Name: RustDesk
URL: rustdesk://{{$gorelo:asset.rustdeskID}}?password={{$gorelo:asset.rustdeskPassword}}
Pinned Name: RustDesk

You should now see the the RustDesk shortcut up the top-right corner of the Asset Detail page. If the script successfully populated the custom fields, then this shortcut will launch the RustDesk application.
