guacd(8) Guacamole guacd(8)
NAME
guacd - Guacamole proxy daemon
SYNOPSIS
guacd [-b HOST] [-l PORT] [-p FILE]
DESCRIPTION
guacd is the Guacamole proxy daemon used by the Guacamole web application and framework. As JavaScript cannot handle binary protocols (like
VNC and remote desktop) efficiently, a new text-based protocol was developed which would contain a common superset of the operations needed
for efficient remote desktop access, but would be easy for JavaScript programs to process. guacd is the proxy which translates between
arbitrary protocols and the Guacamole protocol.
OPTIONS
-b HOST
Changes the host or address that guacd listens on.
-l PORT
Changes the port that guacd listens on (the default is port 4822).
-p FILE
Causes guacd to write the PID of the daemon process to the specified file. This is useful for init scripts and is used by the pro-
vided init script.
