# Custom installer service

Generate custom Remote Desktop Manager installer packages using the custom installer service to deploy preconfigured workspaces across your enterprise.

Generate custom installation packages in Remote Desktop Manager to deploy workspaces quickly and consistently across your enterprise using preconfigured settings. The ***Custom installer service*** is only available for [Devolutions Server and Devolutions Cloud](/rdm/getting-started/workspaces/workspace-types/native-workspaces/devolutions-cloud.md).

The ***Custom installer service*** replicates the configuration from a Remote Desktop Manager instance. This configuration is used to create an installer file (RDI), which is used to create the installation package intended for distribution. The configuration can contain workspace credentials, database templates, and more. It is a best practice to have a Remote Desktop Manager installation used specifically to create the installation package.

{% hint style="info" %}
The ***No Internet connection*** option in Remote Desktop Manager (***File*** – ***Settings*** – ***Advanced***) must be disabled for the custom installer to work.
{% endhint %}

Create an installer file using Remote Desktop Manager before creating the installer. This process is explained in [Export custom installer configuration](/rdm/getting-started/installation/client/custom-installer-service/rdi-file-generation-options.md).

The custom installer service can be found in ***Tools*** – ***All tools***.

Consult the following topics to set up customized installers in Remote Desktop Manager:

* [Custom installer manager](/rdm/getting-started/installation/client/custom-installer-service/custom-installer-manager.md)
* [Export custom installer configuration](/rdm/getting-started/installation/client/custom-installer-service/rdi-file-generation-options.md)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.devolutions.net/rdm/getting-started/installation/client/custom-installer-service.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
