Hi

Is it possible to change the OpenJDK version of Java to the “official” v8?

Necxtcloud Fulltextsearch needs Java v8 for this…

Thanks for any feedback!

Andy

Are you sure? IIRC I tested with openjdk and it worked.

Hi
Will test again.
What version of openJDK are you using?
I think mine’s 1.7, but I’ll need to double check later…

PS Does todays Guacamole Update include the CH-German Keyboard ?

Thx
Andy

openjdk 1.8 should work with guacamole, it’s used in several tutorials.

I have to check but I don’t think so. Stable Guacamole version is still 1.0 and you need 1.1 for CH-German keyboard.

its funny that i have alway seen guacamole, but never bothered to see what its all about.

i gues its because of the name it has.

but i think and belive it is a great tool for business.

the bigger question i have about it.

how is the best way to setup remote desktops for staff members using guacamole.
is ldap supported, and do i need to deploy multiple oss r (windows 10/winserver) a seprate os for each user or not.

i windows server the best to deploy in htis case, or windows 10 is fine?

@mrmarkuz

AFAIK Guacamole 1.1 is officailly out…

https://guacamole.apache.org/releases/1.1.0/

Users have rights to use specific remote connections. They log in via browser and have their connections. In the new version LDAP groups should work too.

Yes, see guacamole [NethServer Wiki]

I don’t know if I understand correctly but it’s a browser app, you don’t need special clients.

Guacamole runs on Nethserver but it works with remote AD too.

More info:

i have seen guacamole instances running windows inside. thats what i meant.
do i need to deploy multiple oss or a single for all users.

It’s just remote desktop or VNC. There’s no VM in guacamole. Guacamole is a web portal for remote connections. There’s nothing to deploy.

Late to the party, but if anyone finds it useful here is a tool to easily create/configure RemoteApps for RDP: https://github.com/kimmknight/remoteapptool (http://www.kimknight.net/)
