@Ctek making a recap
- access to inside VM’s
- allow access to users that are outside of the office from every device with HTML5 browser
- good environment for thin clients
It looks like a great addon

After some Months: Are there any plans to implement Guacamole? It would be really nice to have!
Yes, I’d like to see it on NethServer too, it’s time to install it on 7
@Adam may have already tried with Centos 7
We can also involve @sitz @Ctek and @dz00te
I have and it works great.
Awesome! Would you mind to try it on NethServer 7? You should have all dependencies needed, tomcat as well.
BTW: your new pic with the NethServer shirt is terrific!
I’ll give it a try and let you know how I come out.

This is what worked for me:
Install NS7, all updates, and mySQL from web interface
yum install cairo-devel libjpeg-devel uuid-devel freerdp-devel pango-devel libssh2-devel libtelnet-devel libvncserver-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel libvorbis-devel libwebp-devel nethserver-tomcat gcc
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/source/guacamole-server-0.9.9.tar.gz
tar -xzf guacamole-server-0.9.9.tar.gz && cd guacamole-server-0.9.9
./configure --with-init-dir=/etc/init.d
make
make install
ldconfig
mkdir -p /var/lib/guacamole && cd /var/lib/guacamole/
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/binary/guacamole-0.9.9.war -O guacamole.war
ln -s /var/lib/guacamole/guacamole.war /var/lib/tomcat/webapps/
rm -rf /usr/lib64/freerdp/guacdr.so
ln -s /usr/local/lib/freerdp/guacdr.so /usr/lib64/freerdp/
mkdir ~/guacamole && cd ~/guacamole
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/extensions/guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.9.tar.gz
tar -zxf guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.9.tar.gz
wget http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector/j/mysql-connector-java-5.1.38.tar.gz
tar -zxf mysql-connector-java-5.1.38.tar.gz
mkdir -p /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole/{extensions,lib}
mv guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.9/mysql/guacamole-auth-jdbc-mysql-0.9.9.jar /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole/extensions/
mv mysql-connector-java-5.1.38/mysql-connector-java-5.1.38-bin.jar /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole/lib/
mysqladmin -u root password MySQLRootPass
mysql -u root -p
<enter above password>
create database guacdb;
create user 'guacuser'@'localhost' identified by 'guacDBpass';
grant all privileges on guacdb.* to 'guacuser'@'localhost';
flush privileges;
quit
cd ~/guacamole/guacamole-auth-jdbc-0.9.9/mysql/schema/
cat ./*.sql | mysql -u root -p guacdb
<enter root pw from above>
mkdir -p /etc/guacamole/ && vi /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties
Paste the following in this file:
# MySQL properties
mysql-hostname: localhost
mysql-port: 3306
mysql-database: guacdb
mysql-username: guacuser
mysql-password: guacDBpass
# Additional settings
mysql-default-max-connections-per-user: 0
mysql-default-max-group-connections-per-user: 0
ln -s /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties /usr/share/tomcat/.guacamole/
cd ~ && rm -rf guacamole*
systemctl enable tomcat.service && chkconfig guacd on
systemctl reboot
Then you should be able to access the site via http://ip:8080/guacamole with the default username and pw of ‘guacadmin’.

Wow! I’d like to test it soon. Does anyone is interested in creating a new package?
How much tricky might it be?

I tried Guacamole on NS 7, following the Adam’s instructions.
It all works fine.
Really is not a feature that I need, but I think it’s very cool.
I think it should be integrated into NethServer if it is not too complicated.
Ciao

I think it is a really nice feature and I installed it (as a non-Linux-guy) once by my myself. It was not as easy as it is described here by some people for people without much knowledge about Linux. I think it will be a great advantage for Nethserver

on a clean centos install (not yet tested on N7):
yum install guacamole guacd
yum install libguac-client-vnc libguac-client-ssh libguac-client-rdp
service tomcat start
service guacd start
and edit /etc/guacamole/user-mapping.xml
PS i love guacamole 
thanks for sharing this

Wow are you sure? So easy? I can’t believe that
What repositories have you enabled before doing that on centos?
epel :)… sorry no time to test on NS now…
On NethServer might be the same. Pretty sure of that

epel has version 0.8.4 of guacamole front-end and guacd back-end. Use that method if you want old stuff… I don’t.
mm yes it is 0.8.4…i have no problem with old version if stable and no bug
it fits my needs with no effort 
So big differences between 0.9.6 and 0.8.4 ?
