make guacamole start powered-off remote server

[Jeffson Wu <fe...@gmail.com>]

Dear guacamole support team:

Recently I finished a project using guacamole server to manage remote linux
server using RDP.
I can login in remotely to access that linux server through web.

what I want to do now is when the remote server is powered-off,I can login
in the guacamole web interface to auto start the remote linux server.

Can I find a way to configure the guacamole server to start the remote
linux server?if yes,how?

Thanks in advance.

Jeffson.

Hi,Chris

Thanks for your reply.

yes,that sounds a little complicated.

currently,we have a command to auto start the power-off remote server,what
I still want to know is can I add this command to guacamole configuration
file?the result will be when we connect the guacamole server via web
interface,the command will be ran by guacamole.and then remote Linux server
start to boot.


Thanks.
Jeffson.

Most-likely, it is not possible - without ALOT of network routing and transport layer work...

Cold-starting a machine via a network connection requires the use of Wake-On-LAN (WOL).

WOL is based purely upon the MAC address of the target network interface and as such is non-routable beyond a single network's physical broadcast domain.

IMO, your best option is to add a fail-safe client to your infrastructure (either real or virtual) that you can access via guacamole - then, use that fail-safe client to broadcast the non-routable WOL packet within the remote networks internal broadcast domain.
