glyptodon/guacd repository overview

⁠About this image

Glyptodon Enterprise⁠ provides packages of Apache Guacamole⁠ which follow best practices, receive regular updates, and are backed by commercial support. Updates to these packages are made only through contributions to upstream Apache Guacamole, and only to the extent possible without breaking compatibility.

This specific image (glyptodon/guacd) is a Dockerized deployment of guacd, the Apache Guacamole proxy daemon, with support for VNC, RDP, SSH, and telnet. It is built using the packages provided by Glyptodon Enterprise⁠ and made available under the same EULA⁠. It is normally used to provide a guacd instance for a container using the glyptodon/guacamole image⁠.

⁠How to use this image

⁠Starting a guacd instance

To start a guacd instance which listens on TCP port 4822:

docker run --name some-guacd -e ACCEPT_EULA=Y -d glyptodon/guacd

where some-guacd is the name you wish to assign to your container.

⁠Viewing the guacd logs

The guacd logs are useful if debugging unexpected behavior of the remote desktop or failure to connect, as it is guacd that handles protocol-specific communication. To view the guacd logs:

docker logs some-guacd

By default, these logs will show messages only at the "info" level or above. This can be overridden when the container is created using the LOG_LEVEL⁠ environment variable.
