Hi,
is it possible to set Apache Guacamole to allow the client
to access directly to a specific software in headless or no
headless mode?
i.e., I would like to make a kind of puppeteer with a web browser.
Yes, this is definitely possible, but how you do it depends on what
protocol you're using to access the server, and is largely done on the
server-side and not in Guacamole.
So, for example, for SSH and RDP connections, as well as RDP
connections to a xRDP server, you would set pretty much everything up
on the server-side and the clients will connect to a specific server
and port and will get the environment you've created. For example, I
have users that access the IBM iSeries Access Client via Guacamole
using RDP, and they just RDP to the server that hosts the application
with no special parameters, and when they log in the Window Manager
(I'm using icewm at the moment) launches the correct applications and
keeps them contained. For VNC you can do similar things - basically
create a custom start-up script for the VNC server that only launches
the app you want launched.
RDP to Windows servers is a little different - in this case you likely
want to use RemoteApp support, creating the application configuration
on the server-side but then feeding that application name to the RDP
connection in the proper parameter. This is pretty well documented in
the manual, under the RDP section, under the RemoteApp heading.:

Thanks Nick for your detailed answer.
We are working on linux Fedora 30 64bits, what's the best protocol to
use with?
I'm still confused about the place of guacamole-server, does it manage
the bridge between the clients and the server service like vnc server or
remoteApp?
Thanks
