Apache Guacamole

★ 4k

Clientless remote desktop gateway — RDP, VNC, and SSH sessions right in the browser.

Apache Guacamole does the job of Citrix, self-hosted. It is Apache-2.0-licensed, so you can do essentially what you like with it, and running it properly takes real ops work. Citrix bills $25 for it.

Open-source replacement for Citrix.
