Just thought I would add – Windows Server allows up to two simultaneous 
connections out of the box. Windows desktop (“Windows 10”) just one. To get 
beyond two on Server, yep, you need licensing, etc.

It's a fairly common misconception -- Guacamole can't work around OS 
limitations on concurrent sessions. Really it's the OS that decides how to 
handle a second session, not Guacamole... Guacamole can do a view only share (I 
believe, I don't use the feature) but I think that's it. So if you want 2 
people interactively using the same server at the same time, using RDP, you 
need to look into your OS options around that.

I'm not up to date on Windows, but I believe only Terminal Services supported 
multiple RDP connections.. though I imagine things have changed in the last 
decade.

Hello there,

first of all, I am not sure this is the proper channel to raise this kind of 
request, so I apologise in advance if it isn't and would appreciate being 
redirected to the proper channels (if any such channel exists.)

I am quite new to Apache Guacamole, I have barely just installed it using a 
docker-compose setup found on 
GitHub<https://github.com/boschkundendienst/guacamole-docker-compose>, which at 
first glance looked OK for starters.

Problem is, after creating some RDP connections, I am not able to have some 
basic functionality working (such as initial program or concurrent 
sessions...). I have already spent a few working days diving into Guacamole's 
docs (installation, configuration, usage...) and into the repository above 
(checking configuration files, contents of docker containers, logs...) to no 
avail.

I understand this is way too generic for anyone to provide an answer, but I 
would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to 
start debugging my installation or to get a better understanding of what may be 
happening under the hood.

This mailing list is a great place to start - hopefully the community, here, 
can help get you going in the right direction. In addition to that, the 
Guacamole Manual (Guacamole User Guide, or GUG), is a good place to start 
reading:

https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/

Beyond that, yeah, we're going to need some additional detail from you, 
probably log entries, or, at the very least, some very specific descriptions of 
the behavior you're seeing.
