Show custom message on Guacamole application
Hi,

Waiting for Response...* Is it possible?
Thanks and regards,

Do I need to put this jar in the etc folder which is within the container?
I've put it in the etc folder which is at the root of my EC2 instance not
in the one inside container.
Thanks and regards,

Guacamole container is not being started after this change. It's getting

Ok. Got your point. So what I've done so far is:
1. Created a folder guacamole/extensions in etc directory
2. Set /etc/guacamole as GUACAMOLE_HOME value in environment variable.
Is there anything that I need to configure or change?
Thanks and regards,

You need to create the contents of GUACAMOLE_HOME yourself. There will not
be a GUACAMOLE_HOME/extensions/ directory until you create it.

Also I've configured the environment variable GUACAMOLE_HOME as
/opt/guacamole.
i'm stuck on finding extensions folder now.

In my case there is no extensions folder where I can put my extension jar.
I've looked for this folder in /opt/guacamole, etc and lib directories.

Ok so I've created a Jar having menifest and updated en.json file with

I'm using dockerized version of Guacamole.

Yes I'll be going with extensions to modify the message. So do I need to
pull the Jar of the extension also from docker hub along with guacamole and
guacd? How to setup and modify data in extension using docker?

I would advise against editing the exploded contents of guacamole.war,
including through this method. If you wish to make changes to part of
Guacamole, the two mechanisms for doing so are:
* Extensions
* Modifying the source and rebuilding
with the extension subsystem providing the advantage that your changes can
be made to be automatically applied when your system is upgraded from one
guac release to another, without you having to manually rebase/merge your
changes to the upstream source.

Re: Show custom message on Guacamole application

In order to override a file in a docker container, you have to bind mount
<https://docs.docker.com/storage/bind-mounts/> this file when you run the
container:
*docker* run --name *some-guacamole* \
...
*-v /local/path/en.js:/path/in/container/to/en.js \
-e GUACAMOLE_HOME=/some-directory \*
-d -p 8080:8080 guacamole/guacamole

Yep, it definitely will. The ability to override translation strings this
way is part of how the theming/branding functionality works.
It's also why the "available-languages" property exists, as downstream
users that override strings for the sake of theming/branding might not do
so for every language supported by Guacamole:

You have a couple of options, I believe. First, you could fork the Git
repository for the code and customize it as you desire, changing the
en.json files (and whatever other languages you wish to customize) to suit
your needs.
Another option, that I believe would work, would be to create your own
branding extension and provide a "en.json" file that overrides the
translation strings for the items you wish to customize. The following web
page provides information on extensions, in general:
http://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/guacamole-ext.html
On that page you'll find an example of a guac-manifest.json file for
branding - essentially, within the guac-manifest.json file, you should be
able to specify a section like this:
"translations" : [
"translations/en.json"
]
And, then, in the translations/en.json, you can override the translation
strings you wish to change. The strings you wish to override will need to
follow the same JSON structure as the original ones.
I'm reasonably certain that will work - I haven't actually tried it, but I
know that's the way that you override the Application Name, login screen,
etc., so it should work for messages like "Connection to guacamole...", etc.

Re: Show custom message on Guacamole application

I've seen that we can modify this message from en.json in Guacamole client
but I've installed Guacamole using docker image. But how can I modify the
client code of that docker image?
