About
Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway that lets users access their computers through a standard web browser without installing any client software. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH, and can be hosted in the cloud to provide flexible, location-independent desktop access. The project is fully open source under the Apache License 2.0 and maintained by an active developer community.
Problem
Accessing computers and desktops remotely typically requires installing dedicated client software tied to a specific device or location.

developers and IT administrators needing remote desktop access
How it works
Guacamole acts as a server-side gateway that translates remote desktop protocols (RDP, VNC, SSH) into a web-based HTML5 interface accessible from any browser.
