 These brief instructions show how to set up Guacamole on a remote server, so that it can be used as a demo machine, controllable and viewable by anyone with a web browser. I use this to perform remote demonstrations of web-based software. The instructions assume that a Debian Jessie system is used, with Apache already installed.
