Re: Guacamole HA

Whenever I've seen the topic of HA come up, it's always been similar to what Nick just said. There really doesn't seem to be a good way to get true high availability. It seems the best you can do is "shard" your guacamole+guacd stacks so that a failure in one of them only takes out a small

The key word of that document are the "or SFTP" VNC does not support file transfer natively, so you'd need to set up the target system to support SFTP, and go that route... I have not done that for Windows, so I cannot help there.. however if you used RDP file transfer should work. -Lee On Sun,

Sean, I think there is a mixup on the words, or your intention is unclear. You would like to scan the file from the target server before the user has selected the file to upload? The order of operations in this case *must* be: 1) User select the file by drag & drop to the VM 2) Upload occurs 3)

It sounds like you're saying the target system has this CPU issue, but the target system is not the system running any guacamole or guacd software? If that's the case, then this isn't a guacamole issue, and for "methods to resolve" this, you might have better luck NOT including guacamole in any

I don't believe guacamole 0.9x has support for SAML... Can you upgrade to 1.4 and look at the latest guacamole manual? https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/ I believe SAML support was not added until 1.1 or 1.2 -Lee On Wed, Jun 29, 2022, 6:40 AM Vieri wrote: > Hi, > > When using the

You could use docker-compose to "volume" mount the user-mapping.xml file to /etc/guacamole, and that should work for what you're trying to accomplish. If you don't provide it postgres or any hints that your trying to do another auth system, it should fall back to the XML file. (See
