odd never got that error was always the ssh module was not installed. Going to take a another shot it later.

Been using this a lot over the years - some insights from that:

1. It's as fast as JumpDesktop or similar. If there are ever any speed issues they will be the VPN or network setup (we use pfSense).
2. It's a god-send for managing and distributing RDC credentials and managing access permissions with a team, especially compared to sharing and re-sharing .rdp files or PrivateBin copy/paste/messaging any time addresses change.
3. You can make a handy Electron WebApp for this (or anything) with https://webcatalogapp.com
4. The easiest way to give ChromeOS users RDC.
5. I like Paperspace for cheap Windows VMs but this is a bit lighter and faster for connecting to many VMs across multiple providers.

@plusone-nick For interest on that use-case, I've recently been playing with https://crisp.chat which includes co-browsing in the paid subscription, more appropriate to companies with a budget though.

This FOSS Chat App seems to include co-browsing though:

Guacamole is now available as unstable. I am in the process of adding tests and after that will make it stable.

@ultraviolet thanks!

Brilliant work @ultraviolet & @girish. We'll give this one a good test.

@marcusquinn I see - not exactly what I had in mind. those are more for live chat support, something you embed in your site, yeah? but are still relevant and useful! I've got a few open source alts bookmarked somewhere, will get back to you on that to share =]

[marcusquinn]

@plusone-nick Sure - I was thinking if they could be added to Cloudron as a feature. So, your clients would be at my.example.com or whateverapp.example.com and you could add the chat javascript to any you wanted to support so clients could reach you directly from the App and you could co-browse to help solve something.

Probably deserves it's own post thread though...

@girish How did you fix the ssh compiler issue? I was totally stumped on that.

[girish]

@ultraviolet I had to run ldconfig in the Dockerfile after installing guacamole-server. Though, I am not 100% sure that is what fixed the issue.

@marcusquinn https://livehelperchat.com looks very nice. There is even an android app to communicate with the "ai" chat is exhausted
