"Remote desktop access right from your browser — no special client software needed. In this video, I’m going to show you how to set up Apache Guacamole, the open-source remote access gateway that lets you securely connect to RDP, SSH, and VNC sessions all in one place.

Whether you’re building a tool for internal IT support, managing infrastructure, or just want centralized remote access for your homelab, Guacamole gives you that power with a clean, web-based interface.

In the past i did try setting up Guacamole (without docker) and was never successful. Problem between user and keyboard most likely. This video along with the docker image made this an absolute cake walk. Id never imagine Guac being so quick and responsive. Really fantastic tool and…free…and…OSS. Gotta love it.

The only downside is that it took me just a bit to work with ssh private keys. Guac only supports PEM format. Easy peezy.
