Triston Line commented on GUACAMOLE-1417:
-----------------------------------------
[~vnick] "I'd like to add that X2go is GPL v1 but has been transitioning to
GPLv2 (both of which are incompatible with Apache 2.0 licensing
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_License)]" in my comment I acknowledged
this. Perhaps a port would not be the most feasible solution then, however, if
the X2go community was able to create an implementation using HTML5, then it
seems entirely feasible for ASF to code their own implementation.
[~mjumper] Oh! Ok so it doesn't implement NX which simplifies things. "the
lower-level protocols like RDP, VNC, and SSH being dynamically optimized and
translated to Guacamole protocol by guacd" - Mike, that's why I made this
ticket about Guacd component and not the client :) I apologize for my
description not being written accurately- I am not a software developer and am
not the expert on either Guacd or X2go, but I am a systems administrator and
have implemented both of these technologies (which is why I feel they would
make for an exceptional pairing). Thanks for looking at the mailing list Mike!

>
> Apache Guacamole is a fantastic product because it brings all of your
> sessions to one centralized console- and it makes those connections
> accessible to a variety of client systems. This is fantastic and beats any
> local client (e.g. Remmina) if you have multiple sites and travel between
> them (because your client will need to go from local to remote IP if there
> isn't a VPN for example. It also beats local clients because there is no
> installation, there aren't multiple types of clients for various operating
> systems, etc.
>
> X2go is a highly improved remote desktop compared to VNC and the setup time
> required for X2go is under 1 minute on most Linux systems unlike VNC which
> can take tens of minutes and can be finicky to maintain.
>
> The Apache Guacamole FAQ ([https://guacamole.apache.org/faq/#support-x2go)]
> claims that supporting X2go would be complicated. However, there is a working
> open source X2go HTML 5 client available that could be ported into Apache
> Guacamole. In addition to this, X2go is open source via GPL and AGPL which I
> believe is compatible with Apache Guacamole but could be mistaken given
> Apache 2.0 License is less restrictive
