+## README
+
+This is a basic skeleton for deploying [Apache
+Guacamole](https://guacamole.apache.org/) for bwLehrpool remote access with
+docker containers. It consists of two containers. One for guacd and one for
+guacamole.
+
+First, copy *.env.example* to *.env*
+
+	cp .env.example .env
+
+Edit the file and set at least which Guacamole version to use and the IP or
+hostname of your satelliteserver in SLX_CLIENT_LIST_URL. You can also set a
+different port, if there is already another service using that one.
+
+To configure LDAP login you need to set some more variables. There are
+additional configuration options available if needed.
+https://guacamole.apache.org/doc/gug/guacamole-docker.html#ldap-authentication
+
+**Optional:** It may be necessary to import a ssl-certificate for your
+ldap-server in the guacamole container if you have a custom CA or a self-signed
+cert. This can be done whilst building the container through the 'Dockerfile'.
+Uncomment and adapt the last few lines to your needs. If you don't need a
+special cert, you can skip that step.
+
+The 'data' directory will be mounted in the container. Place the
+bwlp-guac-plugin which corresponds to your guacamole version in
+'./data/extensions/'. You can find all currently for download available plugins
+under https://files.bwlp.ks.uni-freiburg.de/satellit/guacamole/
+
+Make sure, that there is **only one** bwlp-guac-plugin in the extension folder
+at the same time!
+
+To start the containers simply type
+
+	docker compose up --build -d
+
+To check if both containers are running or to inspect runtime logs you can use
+
+	docker ps docker logs -f <container-name> 
+--- 
+
+If you want to update to a newer version of Guacamole just edit the '.env' file,
+replace the bwlp-guac-plugin with the new one matching your wanted Guacamole
+version and restart the containers with 
+
+	docker compose up --build --force-recreate -d
+
