Installing Guacamole on CentOS 7

This looks very useful. Does it run well?

@scottalanmiller is so tempting me to drop this onto my jumpbox.

What is it?
Remote access gateway, aggregator and web translator. So remote users need only sign into the web page, no need for any remote access tools. It takes connections like RDP, VNC, SSH, Telnet and turns them into an HTML 5 page.

Appears to be a Linux RDP gateway, see below:
And more.

How's the Performance on this?
Surprisingly good. And I'm running VM based desktops, over a small Guacamole server, over ZeroTier, across the country.

So far, yeah, very well. Some weird font issues if you are using it for SSH display, but that's a fringe use case. Works fine, just gives me goofy fonts.
But RDP is like 90% of use cases and VNC is 9% and SSH is .9% and Telnet is... well, just a theory.

Yup, it's absolutely perfect for that.

I was expecting a pic of some mashed up avocados on top of a server.... disappointed.

That's their next product... Avocado Toast.

Does it support a password hash other than md5?

Yes, but I don't know which options. The only XML one shown is MD5 that I came across. If you want more than that, normally you'd be using a database.

I'm trying it with sha256 (using sha256sum), we'll see. Now where'd that web interface go?

@travisdh1 lol. It took me a minute to figure that out... http://ip.add.ress:8080/guacamole 8-)
The Windows RDP seems to be pretty good. The SSH session does funny things with my fonts...
-
I see this could be huge though. It does seem to work rather well, the only thing I find that is missing is the ability to capture the Windows short cuts like Windows +R, or Windows +D, etc.

Same issue with the fonts for me.

Cool tool. Did you have to figure out the setup on your own or was there any documentation you worked off of?

I do a lot of these, I'm not actually sure. I'm pretty sure that they had good documentation on their own site and I just compiled it into a real world installation focused on CentOS 7. If I remember correctly, this one was pretty easy to do without my work on it.

Ya I tried it back in like February or so and it had the same issue. It's like the Nightmare Before Christmas font.

Probably some easy fix, but I've not looked into really using it for that purpose so didn't care so much.

Ya that seems like such a fringe case where you would need SSH through a browser. I'm guessing they just added it because it was easy.
