Hi
Thank for the info, the current version of debian does not provide
tomcat 9 only tomcat 10 and 11.
Do you know if there is an eta a version which does support tomcat 10
and 11?
Kind Regards
Russell

Guacamole requires Tomcat 9.
There is an ongoing Issue to update it to run on later versions but at
this time it is not possible.

Hi
I have deployed Tomcat 11, OpenJDK 25 (tried OpenJDK 21) with
Guacamole 1.6.0.war on Debian.
Looking at Catalina.log, the Guacamole WAR is correctly deployed into
/var/lib/tomcat11/webapps/quacamole.
