TL;DR: I'm looking for advise on using Guacamole to access a virtual
desktop environment in a Wayland environment.
I was previous running a Tightvnc virtual desktop, this was on a Ubuntu
desktop running X11. This would allow me to login remotely via Guacamole
and have access to all of my data on my server, but also not disrupt the
servers :0 display/environment.
With Ubuntu's migration to Wayland I have not found a way to duplicate
this setup and am wondering how best I might move forward. Also I
should mention that while I could revert to running Ubuntu as X11, I
have found benefits to Wayland that I'd like to keep in place.
Things I have explored:
Continuing to run an virtual X11vnc server at the same time as a wayland
physical desktop--this doesn't appear to work.
RDP Server- Ubuntu has a built in RDP server, but as far as I can tell
there is no way to create a virtual desktop, and it's always connected
to the physical desktop.
Wayvnc- I thought this was going to be my solution, but it appears to
not work with Gnome. While Gnome is not a requirement, I have been
unable to get a virtual wayvnc session connected to another desktop
environment, but would be interested to know if this is possible.
Other possible solutions I have thought about:
Running an entire virtual machine on the server and accessing via a
Guacamole protocol-- I'd like to know more about and what works best.
Using a different distro. I'm in the process of building a new desktop,
so if it makes sense to use a distro other that Ubuntu it would be a
convenient time to migrate.
Something else? Am I just missing something? Guacamole works so great
for providing the connection, there has to be a real simple way to get
back to what I had before.
I look forward to hearing any thoughts and suggestions on this.
