Hi Dave, where do you maintain the “targets” guacd is supposed to connect to? in Apache Guacamole this is usually in a database or via some extension plugin. Anything similar?

Well done. I have wanted to change out the frontend of guacamole for years, and I knew it was possible, and kinda managed to do that. I suspect there are other commercial products that have kinda done the same thing as I have done with this little project. So I had a crack and here we are: https://github.com/sol1/rustguac Lightweight Rust replacement for Apache Guacamole — browser-based SSH, RDP, and web sessions via guacd I have added a few very opinionated choices and features: * Hashicorp Vault is the only address book backend * OIDC is the only authentication method for users - API first for machines * Web sessions are a browser URL and VNC * No VNC support at this stage (can add it if someone asks) * Lots of other security first features, like TLS everywhere, LUKS for drives, etc. I'm currently running some fuzzing on the codebase, so development is ongoing, but there are packages and docker images ready to go. Anyway, I hope I'm not overstepping by sharing this here. I am happy to have feedback and again, thanks for all the great work you do. Hopefully rustguac becomes a little cousin to guacamole, and is eventually invited for family dinner. Dave Kempe
