docker run --name guacd --network guac-net -e GUACD_LOG_LEVEL=debug -d guacamole/guacd
// docker run --name guacd --network host -d guacamole/guacd

docker run --name mysql-server --network guac-net -v $HOME/mysql_init:/docker-entrypoint-initdb.d -v $HOME/mysql_data:/var/lib/mysql -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=guacamole_root -e MYSQL_USER=guacamole -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=guacamole_password -d mysql:latest

docker exec -it mysql-server /bin/bash

bash-5.1#

// to leave gui so guac can work run ...
sudo init 3
// this might be an issue for ec2 as it will boot into gui
# 4ec2 -> sudo systemctl set-default multi-user

// connect via ssh so cp+pst works (ssh [email protected])
