Currently, only the Ubuntu tags are being built. In 30 days, we will cease these builds and archive the baseimage and main repository. + +These images were originally created because our initial implementation of Webtop used [Apache Guacamole](https://guacamole.apache.org/), which allowed us to easily offer images with identical build logic that simply lacked that layer. Now that we have transitioned to an in-house web-native protocol, these images are no longer required and have not been actively maintained. + +If you require RDP access to an isolated desktop container, you will need to find an alternative. Otherwise, we recommend transitioning to [Webtop](https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-webtop).
