Every OpsBay site — including trial accounts — includes a shared Apache Guacamole instance, and each user gets their own private account for secure remote access.
Overview
Apache Guacamole provides clientless RDP, SSH, and VNC access directly from your browser.
Opsbay includes a shared Guacamole instance per site, and each user receives a private Guacamole account with full control over their own connections. Users cannot view or access each other’s connections or settings, even though the underlying instance is shared. Guacamole on OpsBay offers a convenient and secure way to access remote servers without installing any client software.
How Guacamole Works on Opsbay
- Each Opsbay site has one shared Guacamole instance
- Every user — including trial users — gets their own private Guacamole user account
- Each user manages their own connections (RDP, SSH, VNC)
- Users cannot see or modify anyone else’s connections
- HTTPS-secured browser access
- Opsbay handles all updates, uptime, and backups
This creates a secure, low-maintenance remote access solution suitable for personal, lab, or small-team use.
Important Notes
Even though Guacamole is shared at the site level:
- Each user’s account and connections are fully isolated
- Remote server credentials remain private to each user
- Connection lists are not visible to other site users
- Works well for real remote access needs
- Not recommended for highly classified or regulated workloads
Who It’s For
- Developers accessing remote servers
- Sysadmins managing lab or staging systems
