A Docker Container for Apache Guacamole, a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH over HTML5.

This container runs the guacamole web client, the guacd server and a postgres database.

docker run \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v </path/to/config>:/config \
  oznu/guacamole

Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side.

• -p 8080:8080 - Binds the service to port 8080 on the Docker host, required
• -v /config - The config and database location, required

Enabling Extensions

Extensions can be enabled using the -e EXTENSIONS variable. Multiple extensions can be enabled using a comma separated list without spaces.

For example:

docker run \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  -v </path/to/config>:/config \
  -e "EXTENSIONS=auth-ldap,auth-duo"
  oznu/guacamole

Currently the available extensions are:

• auth-ldap - LDAP Authentication
• auth-duo - Duo two-factor authentication

You should only enable the extensions you require, if an extensions is not configured correctly in the guacamole.properties file it may prevent the system from loading. See the official documentation for more details.
