Scott,Guacamole is, really, a protocol. It's a way of converting the various remote desktop protocols - like RDP, VNC, SSH, etc., - to a single protocol. There is a Guacamole Server (guacd) and a Guacamole Client. The Guacamole Server, guacd, handles the translating RDP, VNC, SSH, and Telnet, to the Guacamole Protocol. The Guacamole Server does not implement everything necessary for you to access the connections in a web browser - you need a client that speaks the Guacmaole protocol to accomplish this. So, the core answer to your question is, yes, you can just use guacd - you do not have to use the web client provided by the Guacamole project. However, if you're going to do this, you still need something to translate between the Guacamole protocol and whatever client type you're trying to use. If it's a web browser, you'll need to write a web application. If it's a mobile device, you'd need to implement a mobile application, etc. But, whatever client type you want to use, you have to write something that speaks the Guacamole Protocol to guacd. Hope this helps - feel free to respond with additional questions if you have them.

I already have a solution that provides all of this.Is this possible? Do I just need to follow how to make my own Web application or is there more?Also, has anyone used node.js instead of Apache?Thanks in advance.
