Guacamole on Linux RDP single application

I'm wondering if there's some documentation (or if there's simply the possibility of) about expose through Guacamole/Rdp a single application in place of the entire desktop environment.

Has anyone tried this possibility?

Thank you in advance.

Solution

  • You can start and expose a single application via xrdp from guacamole client in at least two ways:

    • by using the initial_program field in guacamole rdp connection
    • by starting the application via the users .xsession file on the server

    Note that the approach using .xsession will always start the application when the user is logging in on the server, even without guacamole/rdp I have never tried using RemoteApp but that may work too.
