Guacamole – Day 4

Configuring VNC was pretty trivial. I went with TigerVNC server on my Gaming(it’s named gaming, but is no longer fit for gaming as it’s 10 years old) computer. The setup was trivial. Install, poke holes in firewall, set password, and configure the connection in Guacamole. It doesn’t really perform that bad, but I’m guessing RDP…

Guacamole – Day 3.5

Time to configure. Instructions here. Guacamole is incredibly configurable and can be unforgiving. After going through the instructions I was curious exactly how long the instructions were so I pretended to print it. 56 pages. Lucky for me I’m just in the testing phase and I found that all I really needed to confirm it…

New Roomba

I finally replaced the horrible Shark vacuum I got to replace my original Roomba. This one is the s9+. So far it seems much smarter than the last two. It’s going through a making procedure, and it apparently has the ability to move without the vacuum on, so it’s pretty quiet. I haven’t actually seen…

Ok, time to download the source and compline. I’m still following the manual located here. So I’ll download the client and server tars and decompress them to temp. It looks to be the standard configure, make, make install that is common in FOSS software. For the server configure got me this, so it looks like…

Ok, back at it. I’m starting at the dependencies section in the Guacamole manual here. I think I’ll just use this page to build the command to make things easy. I probably already have a bunch of these installed, but apt will sort that out for me. Much quicker than stare and compare. I’m pretty…

Guacamole – Day 2

So… Now that I’m back at it I can load the test page but the highlighted links give me a Tomcat 404 error page, so something is wrong. I found this guide to setting up Tomcat on Ubuntu LTS 22 here. First I need to a user setup in /etc/tomcat9/tomcat-users.xml. That should do the ticket…

Guacamole – Day 1

To setup Apache Guacamole I’ll be following the install guide here: https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/installing-guacamole.html Looks like the first step is to have a working Java Servlet, which I don’t have. I’m going with Apache Tomcat as it’s been around forever so there is lots of documentation. Also, Ubuntu has package files which always makes things easier. ‘apt…
