What is Guacamole?
Guacamole is an HTML5 remote desktop gateway.
Guacamole provides access to desktop environments using remote desktop protocols like VNC and RDP. A centralized server acts as a tunnel and proxy, allowing access to multiple desktops through a web browser.
No browser plugins are needed, and no client software needs to be installed. The client requires nothing more than a web browser supporting HTML5 and AJAX.
Installing Guacamole on Amahi
Dependencies
- tomcat6
- libvncserver
- freerdp (This is official on the Guacamole site. Fedora 14 will not support Freerdp 1.0 or higher, thus RDP protocol in Guacamole is not available. Leave freerdp out of the code below if you are running Fedora 14.)
- libvorbis
In terminal, as super-user, install dependencies with the following:
| bash code |
|---|
$ su Password: # yum install tomcat6 libvncserver freerdp libvorbis
|
Preparing Amahi
Login to your Amahi Dashboard and choose "Set Up" in the upper right. Now select the "Apps" tab. Click on "Webapps" and on the page that comes up choose the "New Web App" button at the bottom. Fill in the name (guacamole) and leave everything else as it is.
Downloading the Binary Packages
Go to http://guac-dev.org/ and choose from the table the binary packages for your system. For Fedora 14, I chose the Fedora 15 packages and they worked flawlessly.
Installing Guacamole
In terminal, change directories to where the packages downloaded and execute the following as super-user:
| bash code |
|---|
# tar -xzf guacamole-0.8.0-fedora-15-i386.tar.gz # cd guacamole-0.8.0-fedora-15-i386/ # rpm -i *.rpm
|
- Be aware that you may have to adjust the above code to match the file name you downloaded.
