To me the examples in the documentation are clear - the database creation process uses the "createdb" command, which abstracts much of the SQL syntax for creation away, giving it a OS-type command, and then the example for granting access and importing files specifies the guacamole database on the command line. That said, the documentation is certainly not perfect, and we always welcome contributions to it to help clarify and make things easier for people to understand. If there are changes you think could be made to help improve it - even just adding simple language like "connect to the Guacamole database", etc., please feel free to open a Jira issue and pull request for those items and we'll work through them together. Your feedback and participation in making it better would be great, and would be a help to the community. > > >There is nothing wrong with the code in the git repository - you are using a > >link to a specific tag for the 0.9.10-incubating version of Guacamole, which > >is, indeed, very old.

See: > https://hub.docker.com/u/guacamole Ah, okay, I see what you're saying - the "How to Use This Image" section documents much of that with very outdated links. We'll see what needs to be done to update that. I would suggest that you use the official documentation - the user guide - but we should certainly either update the Docker pages or clean them up and point people back to the manual -Nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
