## What it is
Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway that lets users access RDP, VNC, and SSH sessions through a standard web browser using HTML5, with no client software or plugins required. This particular repository is the archived original Guacamole project, donated to the Apache Software Foundation in 2016 and now repurposed only for Glyptodon Enterprise packages; active development lives in the apache/guacamole-client repository.

## Use cases
- access remote desktops from a browser without installing a client
- provide VPN-free remote access to internal servers
- web-based SSH terminal for infrastructure
- centralized gateway for RDP and VNC connections
- record remote desktop sessions for compliance
- share remote sessions between multiple users

## When to choose
- you need browser-based remote access with zero client installation
- you want a self-hosted, open-source alternative to commercial remote access gateways
- you need to expose RDP/VNC/SSH through a single audited entry point

## When to avoid
- you want the actively developed upstream project - use apache/guacamole-client instead
- you need a commercial support contract or managed product - consider Keeper Connection Manager (built on Guacamole)
- you need direct high-performance native desktop clients rather than HTML5 streaming

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: http-server, auth, websocket, web-framework
- domain: security, self-hosted, web-development
