Nick, et'al, Well the main one I use at work is the CMP (cloud management platform) from Morpheus. (https://morpheusdata.com/) They have their own frontend and then when accessing your VM ('instances') via VMRC, VNC, RDP, SSH, etc they run through a guacd backend. There is a free license tier if you want to play with it... It's not immediately obvious how to sign up for that so here's a link to the 'Community Guide'. https://morpheusdata.com/wp-content/uploads/content/Morpheus-Data-Community-Guide-May-2020.pdf
I've done a little playing with the open source CMP, OpenNebula and their vCenter integration. Version 6.0 and their new Sunstone UI added support for VMRC (assuming guacd backed...) but I was playing with their pre-packaged appliance and couldn't get any console access to work. When I have time I may try installing it manually. https://opennebula.io/ (Incidentally OpenNebula before the recent VMRC feature add did use VNC for VMware VM console, but the new VMRC access is supposed to supersede it.) They do note use of guacamole when noting this feature add on their blog, but as I haven't been able to get it to work myself I don't know if they're using guacd for VRMC or just RDP/VNC/SSH. Here is there announcement blurb verbatim: 'There have been multitude of improvements in Sunstone: revamped VNC dialogs, asynchronous operation warnings, extra information for OneFlow services, NUMA placement for VMware VMs, etc. Additionally, a new FireEdge server is now shipped with OpenNebula, enabling new functionality in Sunstone—OpenNebula’s WebUI: auto refresh for VM and host states, VMRC console access for VMware VMs, Guacamole VNC/SSH and RDP, and more.' As for VNC, I've seen some CMP that do use native VNC to ESXi for VM console, but those instructions always include opening up the ESXi firewall to permit that access which I'm adverse to... so if Morpheus or OpenNebula is using VNC there's some more flavor on it or brokering being orchestrated somehow to get the MKS ticket etc. Case in point, the Apache CloudStack CMP does use VNC for VMware VM console and have instructions to increase ports and allow VNC through the host firewall in their ESXi setup guide and the above mentioned products do not have such instructions: http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.18.0.0/installguide/hypervisor/vsphere.html?highlight=firewall#extend-port-range-for-cloudstack-console-proxy In your service, Aaron Meyer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: user-unsubscr...@guacamole.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: user-h...@guacamole.apache.org
