Sadly, it's a piece of shit that bricked itself for macros, so I have a macro pad that cannot macro.

Basically a J2EE app that talks HTML5 with WebSocket (or falls back to a custom HTTP-based stream proto) to a JS client in the browser on the front end, and speaks its own abstract remote desktop proto to a backend proxy that talks RDP or VNC to desktop servers. Apparently there’s also a X11 graphics drive…

screengrab from Guac docs explaining its history:

Historically, Guacamole was an HTML5 VNC client, and before that, a JavaScript Telnet client called RealMint ("RealMint" is an anagram for "terminal"), but this is no longer the case. Guacamole's architecture has grown to encompass remote desktop in general, and can be used as a gateway for any number of computers.
Originally a proof-of-concept, Guacamole is now performant enough for daily use, and all Guacamole development is done over Guacamo…

I’m old-school, and I want my server (and its associated security boundary) thoroughly quarantined from client code — so there’s a whole set of features there I can’t comment on at all.
