==== Configure Rustdesk client for Linux from CLI ====

Sometime it might be necessary to edit the Rustdesk config from CLI, for example when switching between relay servers. 

To do this proceed as following:
//(This tutorial was tested on a Systemd-based system)//

  * Firstly stop the Rustdesk service
<code bash>sudo systemctl stop rustdesk.service</code>
  * Then navigate to ''/root/.config/rustdesk/'', therefore change to ''root'':
<code bash>su root</code>
<code bash>cd /root/.config/rustdesk</code>
  * There should be three files in this directory: ''RustDesk.toml'', ''RustDesk2.toml'' and ''RustDesk_hwcodec.toml''. Edit the second one:
<code bash>nano RustDesk2.toml</code>
  * The content of this file should look like this:
<code bash>
rendezvous_server = '<rendevouz-server-ip>'
nat_type = 1
serial = 3

[options]
rendezvous-servers = 'rs-ny.rustdesk.com,rs-sg.rustdesk.com,rs-cn.rustdesk.com'
key = '<key>'
custom-rendezvous-server = '<rendevouz-server-ip>'
local-ip-addr = '<local-ip>'
enable-audio = 'N'
relay-server = '<relay-server-ip>'
audio-input = 'Monitor of Built-in Audio Analog Stereo'
</code>
  * Now you can edit the ''rendevous-server-ip'', the ''<relay-server-ip>'' and the ''key''. Fill in the required values and exit.
  * Then restart the server:
<code bash>sudo systemctl start rustdesk.service</code>
