Thanks Nick! Docker would have likely been a smarter option, but I really wanted to build it out so I could know all the parts involved at least a little. And, thanks to this team's help, it is now working, and with Certbot over the top for continuous SSL (well, I will know if the renewal hook fires properly in about 80 days, ha).
The full list as of 4.22.204 (Happy Earth Day), is Alma 8.9, Apache 2.4.37, Certbot 2.10, Java 11.0.22, Tomcat 9.0.88, XFCE 4.16, TigerVNC 1.13, and ** Guacamole 1.5.5 ** (is that...a fanfare I hear?)
