In case it's useful to anyone here's what I did to get Guacamole 1.5.0
running with Tomcat9 on a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 VM.
Essentially this is similar to my previous notes for earlier versions of
Guacamole and Ubuntu, but with necessary package updates etc.
I should comment that previously there has been some discussion over the
use of /etc for the location of the .war file. It's not necessary to
install it there, you could put it in /opt, or wherever works for you.
In terms of testing I've given this latest install a brief try with RDP
to a Win7 VM and it seemed to work fine, however I've not progressed
further than the login. Therefore I'd treat this as a guide only, and
suggest it would be advisable to carry out some trials before utilising
in a production environment. If you find any issues, or have suggestions
to improve, please let me know.
Finally the observant will see I've not included the requisite packages
for video recording or Kubernetes. They're simple to install if you need
them, the information is available in the official installation detail
here: https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/installing-guacamole.html
