guacd(8) Apache Guacamole guacd(8) NAME guacd - Guacamole proxy daemon SYNOPSIS guacd [-b HOST] [-l PORT] [-p PID FILE] [-L LOG LEVEL] [-C CERTIFICATE FILE] [-K KEY FILE] [-f] [-v] DESCRIPTION guacd is the Guacamole proxy daemon used by the Guacamole web applica- tion and framework. As JavaScript cannot handle binary protocols (like VNC and remote desktop) efficiently, a new text-based protocol was de- veloped which would contain a common superset of the operations needed for efficient remote desktop access, but would be easy for JavaScript programs to process. guacd is the proxy which translates between arbi- trary protocols and the Guacamole protocol. OPTIONS -b HOST Changes the host or address that guacd listens on. -l PORT Changes the port that guacd listens on (the default is port 4822). -p FILE Causes guacd to write the PID of the daemon process to the spec- ified file. This is useful for init scripts and is used by the provided init script. -L LEVEL Sets the maximum level at which guacd will log messages to sys- log and, if running in the foreground, the console. Legal val- ues are trace, debug, info, warning, and error. The default value is info. -f Causes guacd to run in the foreground, rather than automatically forking into the background. -v Causes guacd to simply print its version information and exit. SSL/TLS OPTIONS If libssl was present at the time guacd was compiled, it will contain SSL/TLS support, and connections between the web application and guacd can be encrypted if a certificate file is given. When using a chain of certificates, you must append the additional cer- tificates to your server certificate. This can be done easily with the standard cat command. Beware that the certificate for guacd must be the first certificate in the file. -C CERTIFICATE FILE Enables SSL/TLS using the given certificate file. Future connec- tions to this instance of guacd will require SSL/TLS enabled in the client (the web application). If this option is not given, communication with guacd must be unencrypted. -K KEY FILE Enables SSL/TLS using the given private key file. Future connec- tions to this instance of guacd will require SSL/TLS enabled in the client (the web application). If this option is not given, communication with guacd must be unencrypted.
