How to setup a guacamole on a windows machine?

From official website of gaucamole i.e. (http://guacamole.incubator.apache.org)-

Apache Guacamole is a clientless remote desktop gateway. It supports standard protocols like VNC, RDP, and SSH.

We call it clientless because no plugins or client software are required.

Thanks to HTML5, once Guacamole is installed on a server, all you need to access your desktops is a web browser.

Can I setup guacamole on windows server 2012. If yes how ?

How do I connect RDP to Guacamole?

RDP connections require a hostname or IP address defining the destination machine. The RDP port is defined to be 3389, and will be this value in most cases. You only need to specify the RDP port if you are not using port 3389. The hostname or IP address of the RDP server Guacamole should connect to.

How do you make a connection with Guacamole?

To add a new connection, go to “Connections” tab and click on “Add new Connection” button. Provide a name for the connection and choose the protocol from drop down. Since I am connecting to the Guacamole server via SSH, I am selecting “SSH”. In “Parameters” provide the hostname of the target server and port.

It should be possible to run the Guacamole Docker container in the Docker Toolbox under Windows Server 2012. This reduces the overhead compared to a full blown VM like suggested by Bram.

The anwser is no, the manual is made for linux distro (since the guacd daemon is written for Linux).. So i would install it on Ubuntu in vmware on the Windows server. That way it is possible.
