[Guacd](https://guacamole.apache.org/) - Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. This container is only the backend server component needed to use The official or 3rd party HTML5 frontends.
Our images support multiple architectures such as `x86-64`, `arm64` and `armhf`. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/).
Simply pulling `linuxserver/guacd` should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
| Architecture | Tag |
| :----: | --- |
| x86-64 | amd64-latest |
| arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
| armhf | arm32v7-latest |
## Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
### docker
```
docker create \
--name=guacd \
-p 4822:4822 \
--restart unless-stopped \
linuxserver/guacd
```
### docker-compose
Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.
```yaml
---
version: "2"
services:
guacd:
image: linuxserver/guacd
container_name: guacd
ports:
- 4822:4822
restart: unless-stopped
```
## Parameters
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate `<external>:<internal>` respectively. For example, `-p 8080:80` would expose port `80` from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port `8080` outside the container.
### Ports (`-p`)
| Parameter | Function |
| :----: | --- |
| `4822` | Port Guacamole server listens on |
### Environment Variables (`-e`)
| Env | Function |
| :----: | --- |
### Volume Mappings (`-v`)
| Volume | Function |
| :----: | --- |
## Application Setup
This is a backend only service, to leverage Guacd server you need to use either the official Java frontend [guacamole-client](https://github.com/apache/guacamole-client) or an open source alterantive like [guacamole-lite](https://github.com/vadimpronin/guacamole-lite).
