Re: Client confusion

2016-09-15 Thread Matthew Strowbridge
Good morning Andrew and Bob, 

First off Andrew thank you for your reply, however it added to my confusion 
somewhat. You mentioned "once you configured your devices to talk with Guac”, 
this doesn’t jive with me as in my installation it is Guac that talks to the 
devices being that there is no client on the devices to talk to Guac.

Bob, thank you as well for your input and again I must be looking at this 
incorrectly. Based on the reverse proxy scenario, say I have “X” number of 
sites with multiple devices behind a firewall at each site. Is it your 
recommendation to run a reverse proxy at each site in order to route requests 
from Guac to the devices without port forwarding through the firewall?

Re: Client confusion

2016-09-15 Thread Matthew Strowbridge
Good morning everyone,

Perhaps if I described my test scenario it will help to better explain what I 
am trying to accomplish and hopefully give you, the experts, the information 
necessary to tell me if this is possible and if so how to go about it. 

I have Guacd, Guacamole Server, and Mysql-server running in Docker containers 
on a colocated physical server with direct internet access and public IP. 
Guacamole server utilizing mysql authentication. I have port 8080 mapped into 
port 8080 of my Guacamole Server container. My interest would be in being able 
to remote access machines running various operating systems at various 
locations, some behind firewalls some being servers directly accessible via 
public IP. 

I have no issues setting up ssh configured devices in my Guac Home to connect 
to publicly accessible servers on the internet. The only benefit this gives me 
is a single location from which to access these servers via http connection to 
my Guac server. Now say for instance I want to use Guacamole to access client 
workstations and servers running various OS at their office locations behind 
firewalls. In order to use Guacamole it seems as though I would have to 
possibly run a Guacamole server at each location with a single port forward on 
the firewall into port 8080 of the Guac server or a reverse proxy at each 
location routing request from my Guac server to the intended machines on the 
internal network is this correct or am I looking at this the wrong way?

Thank you all for your time and information.

Re: docker images blank login page

2016-09-20 Thread Matthew Strowbridge
Good morning,

I experienced the blank white page the first time I tried running Guac docker 
image. I went through everything multiple times and after several times looking 
at it I realized I had an incorrect mysql password in the Guacamole server 
image run command. Food for thought, you may want to double check that.

Excuse me, the Guacamole Server container run command not image. I’m sure you 
get my meaning.
