Justin,
Many thanks for the rebound. "Tomcat?" Say no more. You saved me the
grief of disappointment. The _LAST_ thing I need is a system pig like
Tomcat and Java just for the purposes of occasionally wanting to log in
to check a setting or another. Xrdp is sooooo last century but it is
not a system crusher.
Our use case is poor to begin with. Mind you that none of the servers
I've installed for "my" purposes even have a GUI. We have non-systems
types, muggles, that have grown so very soft with the advent of
graphical tools. Okay, I get it; I don't use pine or mutt to send email
(but Thunderbird is bloody close...).
Is gparted easier to use than parted? Probably. Are the system
settings utilities for things like printers easier to use than editing
cups configuration files? No doubt. Can we do these things without the
bloat of KDE? No question.
It's just that the "graphical part" and overhead don't need to be on the
servers we have deployed. Is the network overhead worth the offload?
Yes, because we use these connections so infrequently.

Good Evening Howard and the group:
I see that you, Howard, are wanting to move to using the new Guacamole
Apache HTML5 API instead of using remote Desktop Protocol.
Based on that application, Guacamole per the FAQs and User Documentation
is to be similar to Citrix Webapps.
GuaqCD guaqcd is the daemon
Running as guacamole-server
Guacamole is the Guacamole-client running in a Tomcat Servlet Container.
Note Guacamole can also be run as a Docker Container as well if you need
to keep things separate for policy reasons.

This can also be a way to run x-windows via SSH/VNC/RDP/ more securely
as you can set a number of ways to authenticate via SSH key, Radius,
LDAP, DUO, Database, and possibly Active directory.
UUIDs are also set for each client session.
Recording of the sessions is also available.
Hopefully this will help you out with your project.
I would say if you have memory issues XFCE is better GUi than Gnome or KDe.
It also depends if n what the use case is for!
If you need everything that Guacamole has and it is mission essential.
You may just want to pay for Citrix / VmWare Or Oracle Virtualbox
professional applications.
Then you would not have to manage the server. Instead you would pay $$$$
to have someone else manage the server for you and provide the solution
based on the contracted response time. 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 1
day, etc.
Otherwise I would recommend taking a test docker container and run a few
test instances on Azure, AWs, Etc.
Before you go through the process of running it live in your own hardware.
It possibly may be the best option for you based on your use case scenario.
Good luck and keep us updated.
If you need more assistance reply via electronic mail.
Warm regards,
Justin
