This application seems like more trouble than it's worth.
I actually agree with you. Which is part of the reason I started down the road of doing a whole series of tutorials for it. I had found no good guides online, and it's the only open-source tool I know of that enables all of it's functionality.
I just don't see the value to it. I'd rather type the extra couple characters and make a tunnel for RDP/SSH/VNC. Or just script it.
Hrm, thanks for the reminder. I need to add viewing the session recordings to my list of tutorials to do. Welcome to how my brain works
The big value add is for end users more than IT I think. It's a really easy way to get a secured connection to many different systems remotely once it's configured correctly.
Yeah that makes more sense. However after looking at all of the work it takes to deploy this, I'd rather deploy a full SD-WAN solution. And just let people connect normally. But I can see the attraction if it works properly.

Getting it working properly should be easy once someone does it once, and gets it ******** publicly documents. Also, you're welcome in advance

I found the font a bit wonky, and also found the fix for it here. I'll add them in my original post here in a minute.
dnf -y install terminus-fonts terminus-fonts-console dejavu-sans-mono-fontsAlso, yes, I started working on the LDAP integration today.

This is my first time looking at Guacamole.
I just want a simple way of remote desktoping to a Linux PC, from another Windows or Linux PC.
Is Guacamole Base/Server/Client (what's the difference?) the type of thing I would install on a simple Linux PC for that purpose?
Should I just use TeamViewer instead?

As expected, Guacamole doesn't like Deepin but this was my first test.
Guacamole should be installed on a server. Deepin is a desktop client, not really designed for server use. As a client, it should work fine.
This answers my above question.
TeamViewer it is.

There is an in between. Guacamole is for building a remove access gateway infrastructure. You can get products that just do an HTML desktop of the local machine. That sounds more like what you'd want.

NoMachine is another option.

@travisdh1 From what I've heard, Guacamole on Fedora is pretty unstable. How has this been running for you?

@travisdh1 Yeah, I want to know too

The base install here using the user-mappings.xml for everything has been working great. I only have it pointing to two different things on the back end. It was still up and running when I checked it just now tho.
The thing with Guacamole right now is that the documentation is just..... crap. It says different options are available in the user-mappings.xml which always break things.
dnf-automatic is running. I'll try rebooting it tonight and see if it comes back up correctly.

That's the base problem with Fedora installs, I think. Not that it isn't stable, but that it's not documented properly.

I'd be very surprised if it acted any differently on any platform. One of the big reasons I decided to do a guide on it is how it just breaks when using many of the supposed options. Not that I really expect great documentation for anything before v1 is out, but at least take down known broken stuff!

Besides incomplete or bad documentation, what is specifically unstable about it on Fedora or other distros?

For me so far, nothing.

Huh, it is unstable. That really sucks.

I see no value in Guacamole, personally. No Machine is a much better option.
