Overview

What is Apache Guacamole?

Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote access gateway: it allows you to connect to desktops and servers via RDP, VNC, SSH or Telnet directly from a web browser, without installing anything on the user's machine or relying on a heavy client.

Everything goes through a single web interface, making it a centralized entry point for managing a fleet of machines or providing controlled remote access to third-party providers. Guacamole supports centralized authentication (LDAP, SSO, OpenID, two-factor authentication), fine-grained permission management, clipboard sharing, file transfer, and session recording.

As a project of the Apache Foundation, Guacamole relies on a daemon (guacd) that translates remote protocols to the web. It is designed for IT teams, MSPs, and organizations seeking a sovereign, traceable, and easy-to-deploy remote access solution at an enterprise scale.

Host Apache Guacamole at DINAO

No managed container for Apache Guacamole: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 1 Go / 5 Go minimum).

Apache Guacamole needs a level of access to the machine that the managed container, shared between several customers, does not give. Two VPS hosted in France: DINAO installs and manages it for you, or you administer it yourself.

Technical reason: bind mount of a host path (named volumes only in the managed offer).

Frequently asked questions

You might be wondering…

About Apache Guacamole 6 questions

Do I need to install software on workstations?

No. Guacamole runs entirely in the browser : your users access their RDP/VNC/SSH desktops and servers without any client to install or dedicated VPN.

Can sessions be traced and recorded?

Yes. Connections are logged, and video session recording is available as an option, useful for auditing and compliance of sensitive access.

Where are the data hosted?

The gateway, credentials, and logs are on the DINAO infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Nothing leaves the territory.

Are technical skills required?

No for usage: users connect from the browser. You install and maintain the application on your VPS. Managed support is available as an optional paid add-on.

Can I change plans or export my data?

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time, and your configuration remains exportable — no proprietary lock-in.

Is this application tested before it is offered?

This application has not yet passed our automatic deployment test. It can still be installed, but we invite you to contact us before ordering: we will then test it as a priority. The deployment template used was last updated on 3 July 2026. Each new version released by the publisher triggers this test again: the date above therefore follows the version actually offered.
