Here are the basic steps to deploy a Full VM running Apache Guacamole on the Threefold Grid.
Apache Guacamole is a free and open-source, cross-platform, clientless remote desktop gateway maintained by the Apache Software Foundation.
- Go to the Threefold Playground
- Deploy a Full VM (Ubuntu 20.04)

- Once connected, write the following lines in the terminal
- Create a new user with root access

ls /home
Should see newuser directory - Give sudo capacity
usermod -aG sudo newuser
- Make newuser accessible by SSH
su - newusermkdir ~/.ssh-
nano ~/.ssh/authorized_keys- add authorized public key in file and save
- Exit the VM and reconnect with new user
ssh newuser@IPv4_addresssudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -ycurl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.shsudo sh ./get-docker.shdocker pull jwetzell/guacamolemkdir guacamole-dockersudo docker run \ -p 8080:8080 \ -v guacamole-docker:/config \ jwetzell/guacamole
- Create a new user with root access
- On your local computer, open a browser and write the URL
https://IPv4_address:8080/- On Guacamole, enter the following username
