Install Guacamole on Docker with Traefik, Postgres and 2FA

Remotely accessing an SSH terminal or graphics session with VNC/RDP can be very useful. Particularly if you have a lot of devices and if you regularly change your workstation. Guacamole is one of the open source solutions on the market. Unfortunately there is not a single docker container to install and it’s not easy to find a complete guide for installation from start to finish.

Below I’ve created a small guide to install Guacamole with a postgres database for user management and integration with Traefik to have an https connection.

Create your own online office with Nextcloud

TL;DR

Nextcloud is the opensource solution that allows you to turn many devices into your own online storage solution (like Dropbox). But not only that because thanks to many apps you can expand functionality and create your own online office solution, such as Microsoft’s Office 365 or Google’s Drive.

In this quick guide I have attempted to describe the steps to obtain a basic instance of Nextcloud and take advantage of ONLYOFFICE to be able to edit documents online. This is all made available via Traefik reverse proxy, so as to ensure a secure connection via https.

Wake-on-LAN from Guacamole in docker

The Guacamole service allows a “Wake on LAN” (WOL) packet to be launched before connecting to the machine with VNC or RDP. Unfortunately, by Docker’s default setting, networks configured as bridge do not allow broadcast packets (even if directed to a specific subnet) to be sent out. This prevents the use of WOL and Guacamole. There remains the option of configuring the guacd container on the host network, but this solution has security issues.

Uptime Kuma e ping su traefik

Intro

Quando la propria rete casalinga inizia a crescere è comodo controllare i vari servizi/test attivi sulla rete. Uptime Kuma permette di avere un container Docker all-inclusive che permette di sorvegliare con vari metodi (ping, http(s), DNS) un sistema e di inviare notifiche in caso di problemi.

Scopo

• installare Uptime Kuma in docker
• aggiungere la configurazione di traefik
• verificare che traefik funzioni correttamente

Requisiti

I passaggi seguenti richiedono il funzionamento su un host di docker, docker-compose e trafik con https. Seguire questi passaggi per avere le informazioni necessarie.
