Running Guacamole on DockHive
Smallest size
Guacamole needs at least a Small HivePod (about $4 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing. A Small pod needs more than the Free Tier's 1 vCPU, so use the Developer or Pro Plan.
Its database is included
Guacamole comes with MySQL inside the same HivePod, set up for you with its own generated password. Only the app can reach it, and you pay for the pod's size only.
Its own HTTPS address
Guacamole gets its own HTTPS address as soon as it's running. You can also serve it on your own domain: add the domain to the pod and the certificate is issued automatically.
Your data and backups
Guacamole's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
