Guacd - 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.

Supported Architectures

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 and our announcement here.

Simply pulling ghcr.io/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.

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

---
version: "2.1"
services:
  guacd:
    image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/guacd
    container_name: guacd
    ports:
      - 4822:4822
    restart: unless-stopped

docker cli

docker run -d \
  --name=guacd \
  -p 4822:4822 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  ghcr.io/linuxserver/guacd

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

Environment variables from files (Docker secrets)

You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend FILE__.

As an example:

-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword

Will set the environment variable PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.

Umask for running applications

For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional -e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.

Application Setup

This is a backend only service, to leverage Guacd server you need to use either the official Java frontend guacamole-client or an open source alterantive like guacamole-lite.
