RDP at home is fine.

@dbeato Has to be at least related because disabling it works

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

Doesn't deal with the web interface. NX requires a client. Guacamole is as much a front end to NX as it is to any other protocol.

I wonder how often you really need people with no technical expertise to connect remotely to a linux machine?

For example, I have users on Chromebooks that need remote Linux access. \

SSH or RDP. I agree with @IRJ, it (Guacamole) just seems like a hassle.

RDP is pretty cumbersome in some cases for that stuff. And does that mean no NX, or having to maintain multiple for each box?

I definitely find Guac worlds easier. For one thing, it maintains a list of available resources. So the access listing is centralized, rather than making people maintain it on desktops.

I've never found d RDP cumbersome. I'm not talking about using NX on a Chromebook. Anything that isn't a Chromebook, NX is easier. For the Chromebook people SSH is native RDP is easy.

This whole thread is around how Guacamole isn't easy. You also don't need this to have a centralized list. If you're using CM you're going to have a list of systems anyway.

CM?

Configuration management.

Okay, wasn't sure. Yes, pushing out NX configs shouldn't be too bad, in theory.

NoMachine finds all of the systems in a network. For example, if you're on ZT it will list all available clients on that network. I was saying if you just wanted a list for people to SSH/RDP to, you already have it.

What we want, ideally, is not to use something like ZT (although it's an option that we will kick around), and not to make a list for everyone. But to have a portal (or something like a portal) that lists all of the machines available specifically to the person in question. We have specific pools and assigned boxes. For example, Maggie has a dedicated machine just for her, I don't want to see it in my list. And she doesn't want to see mine. But we both want to see remote machines dedicated for something we share.

@iroal Did you solve this problem? I got the same error

I reinstall using this tutorial.

Regards.

Those instructions is pretty good. He did leave out information about the default user and password for it.

@scottalanmiller Did you ever fix this?

@travisdh1 step-by-step guide for the entire guacamole installation?

Definitely make it two parts, preferably two posts. Post one for setting up Guac. Post 2 for setting up LDAP.

Something like this format https://mangolassi.it/topic/16471/install-bookstack-on-fedora-27
Or this: https://mangolassi.it/topic/16380/install-nextcloud-13-0-0-on-fedora-27

@nashbrydges Thanks for posting this nash, will have to try this with fail2ban.

If anyone is interested there is a nice bash script for getting Guacamole installed:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamoleinstallscript/

Very cool, will have to toy around with this.

@stacksofplates said in Configuring a VNC Connection in Guacamole in the user-mapping File:

I really wish there was a way to do multiple hosts (like a range or comma separated) because this will get unwieldy with a lot of users. And would be nice for some LDAP integration.

There is LDAP and an interface for this, but not available in the XML setup. I'm going to be doing another one with MariaDB soon.

Ah I've only tested the XML version. Didn't realize there was another.

Yeah, much more robust interface.

Hi, I get this error:

404 Not Found - 192.168.1.76:8080/guacamole/CLIENT.URL_OSK_LAYOUT

What would be the reason?
Thanks

Is that error causing any issues? The thread below talks about this error, and says that it is fine:

http://apache-guacamole-general-user-mailing-list.2363388.n4.nabble.com/INFO-Required-CLIENT-URL-OSK-LAYOUT-not-translating-td2399.html

So strange even the GCC 6 documentation implies that -Wno-error=pedantic should cause -Werror=pedantic warnings to not be treated as errors.

"This switch takes a negative form, to be used to negate -Werror for specific warnings; for example -Wno-error=switch makes -Wswitch warnings not be errors, even when -Werror is in effect."

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-6.1.0/gcc/Warning-Options.html#Warning-Options

I would guess if you really want to install you could remove -Werror from AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE (or add -Wno-error=pedantic)

Btw Centos got updated to:

CentOS 7.4 (1708)
CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708 (Core)

https://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS7?action=show&redirect=Manuals%2FReleaseNotes%2FCentOS7.1708

Noteable mentions

At least 1024 MB RAM is required to install and use CentOS-7 (1708). When using the Live ISOs for install, 1024 MB RAM produces very slow results and even some install failures. At least 1344 MB RAM is recommend for LiveGNOME or LiveKDE installs.

The initramfs files are now significantly bigger than in CentOS-7 (1503). You may want to consider lowering installonly_limit in /etc/yum.conf to reduce the number of installed kernels if your /boot partition is smaller than 400MB. New installations should consider using 1GB, which is now the upstream recommended, as the size of the /boot partition.

Sadly Centos 7.4 does not work with this guide 😞 Damn
