[SOLVED] Apache Guacamole server does not connect to VNC or RDP hosts

Jason_25 · 08-12-2022, 02:44 AM

I have installed a docker container for Guacamole here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/jwetzell/guacamole

I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 in this case reluctantly.

When trying to connect the large gear in the middle spins and nothing happens. There are no error messages in the web browser but I noticed a message in the console that says: FATAL: role "root" does not exist.

Where are the log files that concern connections?

This is the startup command:

Code:

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -v ??? jwetzell/guacamole:arm64

What goes where the question marks are?
Was choosing arm64 in the command or in general a bad idea here?

Is FreeRDP and a VNC client being installed necessary or are they built in?

As for my own troubleshooting I am trying the older repository that this one is based on and if that does not work I am going to move to an x86 device for this project.

edit:
This way worked for the middle argument.
-v /home/docker/guacamole:/config

But the real problem was I simply was not going back to the home page. You can not connect from the settings page. You have to go back home. I tried so many things to fix it but it ended up being this.

It's better if you post solutions as a follow-up post instead of editing, because:

1) it removes the thread from the list of "Zero Reply Threads".
2) it causes anyone who might have subscribed to get notified (which editing doesn't do).
