Re:. RPM install of Guacamole

[Charles Mccrea <ch...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I'd like to have Guacamole added to Nethserver (https://www.nethserver.org/)  but the requirement is to have Guacamole install via RPM. Is there any plan to package guacamole in an RPM?  

What would it take to package Guacamole as a package install?

Thank you.

The project doesn’t maintain any official RPMs or packages for any
distribution. However, I believe there are a set of RPMs maintained in the
EPEL repository.  I’ve no idea who maintains them but they seem to be
reasonably up to date.

Hello Mike,

Very sorry I didn't see your reply here!  Very much appreciate your reply.
Yes Nethserver is based upon CentOS 7.  Do you have the most recent version
of Guacamole install in rpm that you support?  If so I would like to share
this with the Nethserver Support team to consider including Guacamole on
Nethserver.

Thank you.

If Nethserver is indeed based on CentOS / RHEL, my dayjob [1] produces RPM
packages which may fit the bill.

The Guacamole Project will not maintain platform-specific packages (RPMs,
DEBs, etc.).  There are others who do, and may be able to respond on this
list with locations of packages, but it isn't something that will be
released on the official Guacamole site or as part of the release process.

It shouldn't be too terribly difficult - Guacamole Server (guacd) is
already packaged by a couple of different projects (EPEL, for example,
keeps up with it for the EL6/7/8 platforms), and its reasonably
straight-forward.  Guacamole Client should also be doable and probably even
simpler as you basically just need to capture WAR and JAR files and have a
standard place to put them.

It looks like Nethserver is based on CentOS, so you might be able to add
the EPEL repo and use the packages, there.  I think they tend to lag a
little behind the official release, so you'll want to check the version -
I'm not sure if 1.1.0 has made it into the repos, yet.
