Re: Guacamole – HTML5 Clientless Remote Desktop
#2Looks promising! Could be use to control bittorrent server from work. Maybe call it pluginless instead? Clientless kinda makes me imagine it's pure js/html5 app but actually it uses a server as client.

#3Having an HTML5 client built-in doesn't mean that it's "clientless" but it's still impressive. MIT license doesn't hurt, too.

#4Nomachine also has been doing this for a while, and NX is really darn smooth on spotty connections: https://www.nomachine.com/node/2473
I do love that this is open source though. Someone will probably add NX support soon. Sound support also looks pretty impressive.

you can already control rtorrent via ssh, though admittedly it has a steeper learning curve.

#6The Github repo for the client says it's 50% Java, can someone clarify, is this an HTML5 client, or are there other things happening?

#7I run Guacamole on my home network as an RDP client to my Windows and Linux boxes. It's a fantastic piece of software. It beats VMC widely in terms of speed, and RDP narrowly when used across the internet. I run guacd on my home server and use that to access my interior network from any computer. It's stable, consumes low memory, and works nicely over HTTPS with apache reverse-proxying the Java webapp. A+ amaze your friends type of software. I am a huge guacamole fanboy.
Edit: I used a Linux VM on my home windows box over guacamole from a Chromebook as my primary mobile computer for 6 months. Browsing in Firefox on my remote VM was always faster than browsing the web locally on the Chromebook. If only it worked well on tablets...

From the github readme:
> guacamole-client is used to build the subprojects that make up Guacamole, and
> to provide a common central repository. Each project contained here is
> completely independent of guacamole-client and can be built separately, though
> the others may have to be built first. If all projects are built using
> guacamole-client, Maven will take care of the proper build order.
