I remember working at it here. It seemed to install, but there were 404 errors (althought the same install worked on Bullseye).

I don’t use this app but you may have a look if you use it so much? You can take over my branch or create a new one :slight_smile:

Thank you for your feedback. So, I need to setup another YunoHost server to test, because I need Guacamole. Before my FAI need to repair my Internet access :sweat_smile:

Well, I’ve installed a dedicated VM under Debian 12 and Yunohost 12. I’ve installed Guacamole. The testing installation with the testing branch is OK but I am facing the 404 Error.
I will try to work on it but I am not a java developer. At most an IT admin… @Tho in your opinion, is it installation issue or development issue?

Thank you for your help. Guacamole is an amazing product with amazing performance, I am amazed that no one works on it.

(sorry for my very bad english, I am french… isn’t it an excuse :slight_smile: )

Me neither ^^

I don’t know, I’d have to investigate but my first guess is to

  • look if and where you can find the unfound files
  • check in the upstream docs if the nginx config needs to be updated or if some more dependencies are needed.

I’ve investigated the issue, the proposed solution of using Tomcat 10 on Debian 12 will not work as it ships Jakarta EE9 support rather than Jakarta/Java EE8 required by Guacamole.
I’m investigating using Jetty instead (as it ships backwards compatibility mode and I was able to sort of run Guacamole locally) but I promise no ETA.

EDIT: Proof is once you get logging to work (another issue) you get infamous ClassNotFoundException for javax.something, the namespace was changed to jakarta.something in Jakarta EE9.

How can I help?

Hi guys,
Any update on this app? There is something I can do to help? Let me know.

Hi guys,
If guacamole is not compliant with Tomcat 10 and if Debian 12 doen’t bring tomcat 9 in his repos, perhaps we can install a standalone tomcat 9 from the binaries distribution (Apache Tomcat® - Apache Tomcat 9 Software Downloads). It will not conflict with another software that may require tomcat10 neither with Debian distribution package management.

I will try to deploy Guacamole from source manually with this standalone approach of tomcat. If I succeed, I’ll try to update the yunohost package.

What do you think about this proposition?

Update: i’ve just succeded in:

  • manually deploy tomcat 9 from binary distribution (with openJDK17)
  • compile and install guacamole 1.5.5
  • run guacamole server and client

I’ll try to change the yunohost package to use tomcat from binary distribution instead of .deb package.

Just to inform you that guacamole works now with Yunohost 12 on Debian Bookworm by using the standalone approach with tomcat9. I’ve just send a pull request to the main repository with all my changes.
@orhtej2 thank you to put me on the way by identifying the root problem with tomcat10.
@Tho thank you for your help too to share my changes and create the pull request.
