Guacamole

Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH. No plugins or client software are required.

Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

History

Guacamole was created in 2010 by Michael Jumper as an HTML5 VNC client leveraging components of a browser-based telnet client called “RealMint”. The company Glyptodon LLC formed to support and develop the project, and donated the project to the Apache Software Foundation in 2016 where it entered incubation. In 2017, Guacamole completed incubation and became the Apache Guacamole top-level project.
