Apache Guacamole 2in1

Dockerfile for Guacamole 1.6.0 with internal or external MariaDB server and MySQL, LDAP, DUO, CAS, OPENID, TOTP, QUICKCONNECT, HEADER and SAML authentication

2in1 because guacamole-server (guacd) and guacamole-client are in the same docker container

Apache Guacamole⁠ is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC and RDP. 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.

Author

Based on the work of Zuhkov zuhkov@gmail.com⁠, aptalca and Jason Bean, updated by cleao to 1.6.0 version of guacamole

---

Building

Build from docker file:

git clone git@github.com⁠:cleao01/docker-guacamole.git
docker build -t cleao/guacamole .

You can also obtain it via:

docker pull cleao/guacamole

---

Running

Create your guacamole config directory (which will contain both the properties file and the database).

To run using MariaDB for user authentication, launch with the following:

docker run -d -v /your-config-location:/config -p 8080:8080 -e OPT_MYSQL=Y cleao/guacamole

---

Initializing the MySQL database

If using an external Mysql/MariaDB, change guacamole.properties and provide the database

To create and apply schema to an MariaDB external database: Create a database for Guacamole within MySQL ex.: databasename

Run the script on the newly-created database:

docker exec -i MySQLDockerName sh -c 'mariadb -uroot -p"RootPassword" -e"CREATE DATABASE databasename"' docker run --rm guacamole/guacamole /opt/guacamole/bin/initdb.sh --mysql | docker exec -i MySQLDockerName sh -c 'mariadb -uroot -p"RootPassword" databasename'

Once the Guacamole image is running, Guacamole will be accessible at: http://your-host-ip:8080 and login with user and password guacadmin
