Guacamole is a program to tunnel a Linux desktop to a browser.
Sometimes in your Linux life, you need to control your servers in the internet with a graphical user interface. The problem is when you are behind a corporate firewall blocking ssh requests to the public internet. Typical corporate firewalls only allow proxified client access to port 80 and 443 in the public internet. The solution is to use a browser to display a Linux desktop. The solution is not, however, to use Vnc#for_a_web_browser, as it will still need a port that will be blocked by corporate firewalls.
Here is what I did to configure Guacamole on 2011-06-25 using a rackspace server with Ubuntu 10.04 x64:
- install some software
apt-get install tomcat6 libvncserver0
- download a package from here
- edit /etc/guacamole/user-mapping.xml
- install a vnc server
apt-get install tightvncserver
- start the vnc server
vncserver
