Installing Guacamole Browser VNC on Rackspace Cloud Server

Advertisement

Installing Guacamole Browser VNC on Rackspace Cloud Server is actually not very difficult. You can install easily to enable a VNC Server as remote desktop. It is obvious that, Installing Guacamole Browser VNC is not only the way to get a VNC, you can for example install TightVNC for only VNC setup. However, Installing Guacamole Browser VNC on Rackspace Cloud Server has the advantages to create own applications or login to Remote Server from any device’s browser.

 

Installing Guacamole Browser VNC on Rackspace Cloud Server : Prerequisite

 

We are taking that, you are using a Linux based or OS X based computer or PuTTY as SSH/Telnet Client. Guacamole has got own website now :

 

Vim
1
http://guac-dev.org/

 

At the time of writing Guacamole supports following Operating Systems (both x86/x64) :

---

  1. Debian 6.0 (Squeeze)
  2. Debian Testing (Wheezy)
  3. Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot)
  4. Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)
  5. Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal)
  6. Fedora 15 (Lovelock)
  7. Fedora 16 (Verne)
  8. Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle)
  9. Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow)

 

We will describe for Debian System as the Standard. As we said before, you can use VNC without this Guacamole with TightVNC like described here. Also you can read the theoretical part on Virtual Network Computing or VNC.

 

Installing Guacamole Browser VNC on Rackspace Cloud Server : Steps

 

We are not describing the server building process in this guide on installing Guacamole Browser VNC on Rackspace Cloud Server, you can follow the initial steps described in VNC without this Guacamole with TightVNC guide for setup of that part plus installing TightVNC. We have a video Guide too for installing TightVNC for the setup of VNC for Ubuntu, also NeuroDebian specific VNC Setup Video is also available. There are not much difference in Ubuntu and Debian as Debian is the Grandfather.

 

We will use a Pre-built package of Guacamole for this guide. First, update :

 

Vim
1
apt-get update

 

Edit the sources of Debian :

 

Vim
1
sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list

 

Usually in Rackspace the sources.list is not edited unlike Ubuntu. Still its better to check.

 

deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian squeeze multiverse restricted universe

deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian squeeze multiverse restricted universe

 

Needs to be active to make the part of TightVNC running fine. We are not describing that part – we are skipping the part of installing TightVNC as they are linked above. But you must install TightVNC in your case.

 

If sudo command is creating issue, please follow official Debian’s guide :

 

Vim
1
http://wiki.debian.org/sudo

 

Install Apache Tomcat package :

 

Vim
1
sudo apt-get install tomcat6 libvncserver0 libfreerdp1 libvorbisenc2

 

wget Guacamole :

 

wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/

current/binary/debian-6.0-amd64/guacamole-0.8.0-debian-6.0-amd64.tar.gz

 

I have used break to two lines, the above command is of one line. You can for example download it after going to tmp folder. Untar it :

 

tar -xzf guacamole-0.8.0-debian6.0-amd64.tar.gz

 

You must check the file names in browser if any error happens :

 

Vim
1
http://sourceforge.net/projects/guacamole/files/current/source/

 

Change Directory to that folder :

 

Vim
1
cd guacamole-0.8.0-debian-6.0-amd64

 

Run :

 

Vim
1
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

 

You must make two symbolic links:

 

By effectively copying the web application (for example in our case is located at /var/lib/guacamole/guacamole.war) into the directory where Tomcat monitors for web application deployment, copying the configuration file, guacamole.properties, into the Tomcat’s classpath, such that Guacamole can find it once it runs. This must be done as root:

 

Vim
1
ln -s /var/lib/guacamole/guacamole.war /var/lib/tomcat6/webapps

Vim
1
ln -s /etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties /usr/share/tomcat6/lib

 

ln- -s is Symlink – you already know about Symlinks, is not it ?

 

The last phases :

 

service tomcat6 restart

service guacd start

 

Now there are two files :

 

Vim
1
/etc/guacamole/user-mapping.xml

Vim
1
/etc/guacamole/guacamole.properties

 

Yo must edit them if needed.

Installing Guacamole Browser VNC on Rackspace Cloud Server

 

Go to the browser :

 

http://your-ip:port/guacamole/

 

Port is usually 8080, 5900, 5901.
