1. Chrome Autostart Raspberry Pi
2. Anydesk Platforms
3. Autostart Program Raspberry Pi

1. Raspberry Pi Autostart: Start the Program automatically. A gain and again, it happens that you install Programs, but do not start them automatically when booting. In order to use the Raspberry Pi autostart, all you need to do is to store the information in the /etc/rc.local file in the Linux system. This is, for example, the case with DNS service noip2.
2. Before trying the previous solutions to auto-start a program on boot, you may need some help to know exactly what to run. Sadly, Raspberry Pi OS Buster doesn’t include a tool to start apps on boot, so you have to find the corresponding command line. As I don’t know exactly what you want to run, I will give you the three options. Create a script.
3. Actually why I wanted to install Anydesk is because it is simple to use and the Raspberry Pi is located 300 kilometres away in a small village from my location (Bangalore India). There my dad is using Raspberry Pi 4 4gb model running Ubuntu Mate 64bit 20.04lts as a desktop computer.
4. Choose Applications - Preferences - Default applications for LXSession from your Pi desktop. Select the Autostart tab. In the Manual autostarted applications section enter the text of your command in the box next to the Add button. Then click the Add button and your new command should be added to the list.

AnyDesk has several modes to run which affects how it is startup and closed.

1. AnyDesk without installation. (portable)
2. AnyDesk with installation.
3. AnyDesk without installation but with Elevation.

Chrome Autostart Raspberry Pi

Those modes determine the characteristics of AnyDesk. Generally it is to distinguish between a portable and installed setup.

Apple mac one. AnyDesk with Installation AnyDesk creates a Service upon Installation which secures availability and Elevation (for AnyDesk) at Startup. AnyDesk is available outside the user session / switch to Login Screen / logout is possible. To close AnyDesk, close the control process, found in the tray of the taskbar.

AnyDesk without Installation

• AnyDesk doesn't run at startup and is therefore not reachable until startup manually.
• AnyDesk closes completely when Main Window is closed.
• AnyDesk cannot exist outside the User session / cannot switch to the Login Screen.
• AnyDesk cannot restart the device and return to the Login Screen
• AnyDesk cannot register automatically an Alias without installation.
• Unattended access available after startup.

AnyDesk with Installation

• AnyDesk creates a Service upon Installation which secures availability and Elevation (for AnyDesk) at Startup.
• AnyDesk is available outside the user session / switch to Login Screen / logout is possible.
• To close AnyDesk, close the control process, found in the tray of the taskbar.

Closing the control-process also closes the service. This action must be confirmed by UAC-prompt.

• AnyDesk can restart the device and return to the Login Screen.
• Unattended access is always available.

Run AnyDesk without Installation but with Elevation

There are three options to elevate AnyDesk manually when not installed:

1. Request elevation for the remote side via the actions menu. See Elevation
2. Run AnyDesk as Administrator via Context Menu.
3. Create a custom client that:
   1. Automatically runs as Administrator.
   2. Doesn't allow installation.

Anydesk Platforms

• AnyDesk doesn't run at startup of Windows and is therefore not reachable until executed manually.
• AnyDesk closes completely when Main Window is closed.
• AnyDesk can exist outside the User session / switch to the Login Screen. (runs as SYSTEM)
• AnyDesk can restart the device and return to the Login Screen when performed from the actions menu.
• Unattended access is available after startup of AnyDesk.

Raspberry Pi is a low-cost and compact single-board computer as small as size of your palm. Though not powerful enough to perform complex jobs, it is still capable of serving purposes of academic study, hobbyist interest, and very light-weight multi-purpose server.

Once we finished install Raspbian OS on Raspberry Pi, if you like to connect to Raspberry Pi to demo students on how to do something or to control your Raspberry server remotely, then the popular remote desktop software tools listed below are your options:

Teamviewer

#1. On Raspberry’s web browser, open TeamViewer for Linux page and scroll down to TeamViewer Host section.

#2. Click on armv7 32bit under Debian, Ubuntu, Raspbian to download TeamViewer.

Autostart Program Raspberry Pi

#3. Once TeamViewer is downloaded, find the package and run it.

#4. Confirm installation by entering admin’s username and password. Following that, there will be a TeamViewer License Agreement.

#5. Once installation completed, run TeamViewer 14 Host from Internet/TeamViewer 14 Host.

#6. Upon launching TeamViewer, click on Grant easy access button to proceed TeamViewer ID assignment. This assignment enables you to manage remote desktop connection within your TeamViewer account. Of course, you can skip this and go straight to #9 on making remote desktop connection in the old fashion way of entering TeamViewer ID and password.

#7. Assign the TeamViewer host on Raspberry Pi to your TeamViewer ID. If you do not have an account, then click on Create account to sign up and get one.

#8. Check email that is associated with your TeamViewer account. Click on Add to trusted devices to proceed adding PC, from which you want to connect to Raspberry Pi.

#9. On Raspberry Pi, TeamViewer is displaying a TeamViewer ID. Also, for security reason, create a connection password in Options/Security page.

#10. Enter TeamViewer’s ID on Raspberry Pi on another PC and click on Connect to proceed.

#11. Now, we can connect to Raspberry Pi via TeamViewer remote desktop.

From the beginning till the end, there is no hassle and everything is as smooth as it gets. It is highly recommended.

Anydesk

While TeamViewer being the topmost choice, Anydesk also provides a good alternative since it is free. In case you are banned by TeamViewer for some reason, try Anydesk.

#1. On Raspberry’s web browser, open Anydesk Get Anydesk for Raspberry Pi page.

#2. Click on Download Now button under Download Anydesk.

#3. Once Anydesk is downloaded, find the package and run it.

#4. Confirm installation by entering admin’s username and password.

#5. Run Anydesk from submenu of Internet.

#6. Upon launch, Anydesk is in its standby mode.

#7. In Settings/Security, set password for unattended access.

#8. On another Anydesk client machine, enter Raspberry Pi’s Anydesk ID and password. Then, click on “play” button.

#9. Anydesk remote desktop session established.

Comparing with Raspberry Pi’s built-in VNC, I prefer using TeamViewer or Anydesk because it is faster and UI is more intuitive. With such remote desktop software, remote desktop session will be a lot easier. Then, what is next? Let’s remotely install and configure ownCloud or configure NextCloud server so we can sync contacts, calendar and tasks wherever we go.
