Overview Apache Guacamole is the popular free open source clientless remote-desktop gateway. It lets you access Windows machines over RDP, Linux and network devices over SSH or Telnet, and any desktop over VNC, entirely from a web browser with no client software or browser plugins to install. This image delivers Guacamole fully installed and configured, so a complete browser-based remote-access portal is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is Apache Guacamole 1.6.0.
Application Stack Guacamole has two halves, both preconfigured here. The guacd native proxy daemon, which speaks RDP, VNC, SSH and Telnet, is built from the official source release. The Guacamole web application runs in Apache Tomcat, with database authentication backed by MariaDB through the official JDBC extension. An nginx reverse proxy serves the portal on the standard web port with the WebSocket support the remote-desktop tunnel requires.
Secure By Default On the first boot of your instance a one-shot service generates a fresh administrator password and a fresh MariaDB password, unique to that instance, and writes the administrator user name and password to a root only file. No shared or default credentials ship in the image.
Ready To Use The Guacamole web application, the guacd proxy, the web server and the database are all configured, with the Guacamole configuration tree and the database on dedicated, independently resizable storage volumes. Browse to the instance address, sign in as the administrator, add your first RDP, SSH, VNC or Telnet connection, and connect.
cloudimg Support 24/7 technical support by email and chat. Help with Guacamole deployment, upgrades, RDP, SSH, VNC and Telnet connection configuration, LDAP and SAML single sign-on, TOTP two-factor authentication, session recording, performance tuning and database administration.
Use Cases Secure browser-based access to a fleet of servers and desktops, jump-host and bastion replacement, remote workforce access to internal Windows and Linux machines, lab and training environments, and a self-hosted alternative to commercial remote-access gateways, deployed in your own VPC for data residency or compliance.

Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). Guacamole is served on port 80 at the /guacamole/ path. Retrieve the generated administrator user name and password with: sudo cat /root/apache-guacamole-credentials.txt. Browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/guacamole/ and sign in with that user name and password, then add an RDP, SSH, VNC or Telnet connection from the admin Settings. Services are managed with systemctl (guacd, tomcat, nginx, mariadb). To enable HTTPS, follow the Let's Encrypt section of the user guide.
