Hi, Re your questions, this is my view:
(1) A separate instance per site would be the best, and what everyone would recommend. I suppose you could use a central instance and provide sufficient routes to each individual PC but I expect it would be much slower from a user perspective, and less secure - altogether a bad idea.
(2) If I understand your question I'd say you could connect to as many PC's as your browser and machine memory would allow. I regularly run several hundred tabs in Firefox, it would make little difference whether they were all connections to Guacamole, or any random website.
(3) I have 60+ [possible] users installed on a VM with 2Gb RAM. They do not all work at the same time however, I think there's typically no more than 10 concurrent users and it works fine. I think I upped it from 1Gb RAM a while ago because I thought it was getting a bit close, but it did work ok with that when there were less users.
(4) I'm not sure, I seem to recollect Mike or Nick may have made some calculation/suggestion around this - perhaps you could search the archives to see? If not I expect someone will respond.
(5) I can't speak from experience myself but I undertand there are people that have had success with a Pi. I've tended to use a VM because, amongst other things, it's easilyreplicable across sites and I have spare machines there (including machines that people also work on at the same time). That said I'd not hesitate to use a Pi, particularly a 4/4 if you anticipated a few concurrent users.
(6) A while ago I wrote a small Python script that runs with Guacamole and sends out the necessary magic packet. In the site I have this running on it has worked well. Once again the detail on that is in the archives here: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/guacamole-user/201802.mbox/%3c1519671051084-0.p...@n4.nabble.com%3E Having said that I believe Nick was working on a 'proper' WOL extension for Guacamole at one stage. This may integrate with the GUI, allowing one to set the MAC address in the connection page, although that's purely my speculation! Nick may update us on this?

I'm new with Guacamole. I'm already reading the manual but I need some information to get started. I have to connect my PC to different remote PCs located in different locations. There are PC and server both Windows and Linux. Obviously, each location has a different public IP and an internal PC network behind a router/firewall. I currently use TeamViewer (Pro License). 1) Do I need to install a Guacamole server in each location or can I install only one "general server"? 2) From my PC, via browser can I connect to how many remote PCs? 3) How much memory do I have to provide for the Guacamole server? 4) How much memory for each connection? 5) Can I install Guacamole on a Raspberry Pi 3/4 dedicated exclusively to this service? Furthermore, with TeamViewer I can see which PCs are active and if necessary turn them on via WOL. TeamViewer uses one of the other active PCs to launch the Magic Packet. I suppose this is no longer possible with Guacamole. 6) So, do you have any suggestions for an alternative? Thanks in advance.
