Apache Guacamole: Remote Desktop via the Browser

Why use Guacamole?

• Universal Access: No heavy client to install. A browser is all you need.
• Centralization: Manage all your access (SSH, RDP, VNC) from a single web interface.
• Security: Expose a single service (HTTPS) to the Internet instead of multiple RDP/VNC/SSH ports. It can integrate with existing authentication systems (LDAP, SAML, OpenID).
• Session Sharing: Share a session in read-only or full-control mode, ideal for support or training.
• Session Recording: Record RDP/VNC/SSH sessions as video for auditing or training.

Prerequisites

• A Linux server with Docker and Docker Compose installed. (This is the simplest and most recommended installation method.)
• Root access or sudo privileges.
• At least 2 GB of RAM on the server.
