My bad.  You actually wrote "east", and I turned that into "best".

I encourage all such experiments.  This is the year I come up to speed on
web technologies.

Never heard of Guacamole until now. The front page
<https://guacamole.apache.org/> explains what a "clientless remote desktop
gateway" means:

- We call it *clientless* because no plugins or client software are
required.
- Guacamole client is an HTML5 web application...
  As long as you have access to a web browser, you have access to your
machines.
- Desktops accessed through Guacamole need not physically exist.

So in this context the software acts as a "gateway" to machines and/or
operating systems. The video on the front page shows multiple machines
being accessed from whatever machine is running the browser.  Right? It's
pretty nifty.

The downloads page says:

"Apache Guacamole is split into two subprojects: "guacamole-client", the
HTML5 web application which serves the Guacamole client to users, and
"guacamole-server", the remote desktop proxy which the web application
communicates with."

I assume that a machine must be running the guacamole server to be
accessible via the client.
