Introduction

Welcome to the fifth installment of Paul’s Tutorial Series!

Today, I am playing with an Apache Project I recently learned about: Apache Guacamole. Outside of being the best named Apache Project (debate me), Guacamole is an amazing tool to navigate between environments, such as demo environments for SEs. More accurately:

Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH.
We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required.
Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

In this tutorial, I’m using Apache Guacamole to connect to my Raspberry Pi from my local PC. Picture of the beast below:

To get started with this tutorial, make sure you have Guacamole installed on your PC. I used the docker install instructions, they are fairly straightforward.

I’m loving Apache Guacamole so far. Clientless RDP is huge, I know it will make the life of many much easier!
