Michael Jumper commented on GUACAMOLE-99:
-----------------------------------------

Current work-in-progress is on [the "guacd-env" branch of my GitHub fork|https://github.com/mike-jumper/incubator-guacamole-client/tree/guacd-env]. I have defined the following additional environment variables:

|| Name || Description ||
| {{GUACD_HOSTNAME}} | The hostname where guacd is listening for connections. Required if the "guacd" Docker link is not used. |
| {{GUACD_PORT}} | The port to connect to if not using the "guacd" Docker link. If unspecified, this defaults to 4822. |

> For MySQL, PostgreSQL, and LDAP, the Guacamole Docker image can use either a hostname+port provided via environment variables *or* a Docker link. For guacd, however, this is not done. A Docker link is universally required.
> It should be trivial for similar {{GUACD_HOSTNAME}} and {{GUACD_PORT}} environment variables to be supported. Doing this would close a feature gap, and allow the Docker images to be used in situations where Docker links won't always be appropriate (such as when a cluster of guacd instances exist behind a load balancer).
