Guacamole - Can you create a pool of computers?

[ITManLT]

Afternoon EduGeekers,

 

 

I know a few of us make use of Guacamole for remote connection into the building.

We made great use of it for a quick remote access solution during lockdown when we had 64 computers in our IT suite not being used in the building, so just fired 1 staff member explicitly to 1 of these machines.

 

Now that we're kind of some in school, some out of school with only a few spare machines that I've now plugged in in our server room, I need to create a pool instead of a direct computer connection.

 

Does anyone know if it's possible with Guacamole to set up a connection pool with these 4 PCs in so that I present this pool to our staff. I'm wanting them to click onto the pool and it just go to a free computer (A) then the next person clicks the pool and it goes to another computer (B) if A is already in use.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I /think/ Guacamole supports load balancing / connection groups if you're using database authentication, not the default XML-based user-mapping.xml. It's not something I've used myself, sorry, so I guess a rummage through the documentation is needed.
