As expected, Guacamole doesn't like Deepin but this was my first test.

Guacamole should be installed on a server. Deepin is a desktop client, not really designed for server use. As a client, it should work fine.

It's as a client. I think part of it is the wallpaper. I had limited time last night but it didn't seem like I could turn it off via the normal settings. Have to figure out nginx/SSL for guac tonight anyway.

My guacamole nginx reverse proxy settings.

server {
	client_max_body_size 40M;
	listen 443 ssl;
	server_name guacamole.myserver.domain.com;
	ssl	on;
	ssl_certificate	/etc/ssl/myserver.domain.com.pem;
	ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/myserver.domain.com.key;
	ssl_stapling_verify on;
	ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.1 TLSv1;
	ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';
	ssl_prefer_server_ciphers	on;
	ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
	add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains";

	location / {
		proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
		proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
		proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
		proxy_set_header Connection $http_connection;
		proxy_http_version 1.1;
		proxy_pass http://10.10.10.2:8080;
		proxy_redirect off;
		access_log off;
		proxy_buffering off;
	}
}

server {
	client_max_body_size 40M;
	listen 80;
	server_name guacamole.travisdh1.net;
	rewrite	^ https://guacamole.myserver.domain.com$request_uri? permanent;
}

Turning off the proxy buffering is the important difference you need to add that isn't in @JaredBusch's guide to nginx reverse proxy.

After sleeping on it and taking everything in, i've decided to give Hyper-V another chance (can some confirm that (i think i've seen this mentioned) hyper-v can replicate to another hyper-v server for FREE?)

Installed Admin center on my machine and started to play with it. Already impressed when just looking at what it can do on my machine, going to add a few hosts and have a play. Can't do to much as i'm off on hols after today for a week and a half.

*Also going to install Veeam Free on my RADIUS server and script some backups of my Linux machines.

New problem, install veeam free on a spare server.
Added my Hyper-V host and tried doing a VeeamZip on a Linux VM. Failed. Rebooted all 3 (i.e. Veeam Server, Hyper-V host and VM) still no go.
Shutdown the VM and it works
This is the error:-

24/08/2018 13:07:17 :: Unable to allocate processing resources. Error: Job failed ('Checkpoint operation for 'VMNAME' failed. (Virtual machine ID ED67A2C9-56F6-429D-AD2E-89FF8375CDE3)

Production checkpoints cannot be created for 'VMNAME'. (Virtual machine ID ED67A2C9-56F6-429D-AD2E-89FF8375CDE3)'). Error code: '32770'.
Failed to create VM recovery snapshot, VM ID 'ed67a2c9-56f6-429d-ad2e-89ff8375cde3'.

Getting the feeling instead of being like a "Ducks Arse" i should look at maybe a "paid" solution that will be Hyper-V and ESXi

@hobbit666 there are several possible causes for this, found here. (granted its from 2014 but I doubt the reasoning for the error would change)

Look at the resolutions on that page and see if you can't fix the issue before jumping to the conclusion of "I have to pay for something to have it work". When it clearly works.

I use VeeamZip to backup a few VM's here and it works just fine.
