Kudos

Special thanks to bryangerlach for creating the awesome RDGen service and contributing to this CLI tool in particular.

Notice

Although you can specify custom port and basic authorization data in this tool, it won't work with vanilla RDGen as of now. But it should be easy to modify RDGen Actions pipelines to enable such functionality.
