About


Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required. Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

Docker Setup


So this seems like a pretty complicated thing to set up in Docker, but there seems to be a lot of guidance and tutorials around YouTube and elsewhere. Basically it consists of 3 containers that are linked, guacamole, guacd, and a database (MySQL, ideally). I need to look more into how these all work and how to properly link them, but this could prove immensely more useful than Cockpit at creating and running VMs.
