Hi,

if you are primarily interested in RDP, then Myrtille and freerdp-webconnect 
are alternatives that work on Windows. Myrtille also supports SSH. Obviously 
user interface and features vary…

If you want to use Guacamole on Windows… I run two Guacamole instances (one 
using Docker, one compiled from scratch) on two virtual machines (Ubuntu 18.04 
or 16.04) on two different Hyper-V hosts (one Hyper-V-2016, one Windows 10 Pro) 
without any issues. I also wrote a how-to for my own software @ 
https://software.lindenberg.one/backup/en/documentation/guacamole-integration, 
but if you just ignore my application specifics, the basic process should fit 
other scenarios as well. I definitely recommend to use a Linux VM instead of 
running Docker for Windows..

Joachim

Hi,

I wish to use guacamole.apache but as I read its document feel that I can't 
make Guacamole server on windows operating system.

Does guacamole.apache work for windows operating system? I want to use 
guacamole server and client both on windows operating system.

 

No. With the exception of libguac, guacamole-server depends on POSIX features 
and behavior not present in Windows. It's conceivable that it could be ported, 
but probably not worth the effort given that (1) there is very little demand 
for a Windows port and (2) those that do need such a port can already use a VM 
or Docker.

 

Keep in mind also that you do not need to install Guacamole on the desktops you 
will be connecting to. Guacamole is a gateway, and the Guacamole server will 
happily connect to your Windows machines. It only needs to be installed on one, 
centralized server to make that happen.

 

If you truly use only Windows servers and cannot deploy a Linux server to host 
Guacamole, I'd recommend using a VM or Docker to give Guacamole the platform it 
needs independent of the server OS.
