No....
Linux just about every version DNS location. However should not need to
set this on the guac system DNS is more client based when accessing the
portal
/etc/resolve.conf is OS DNS settings assuming you have a FQDN and
control over setting cname or A records
/etc/hosts will override DNS
Example: 1.2.3.4 guac.domain.com
On your client system accessing the portal you can modify your Windows
OS hosts file
Example: 1.2.3.4 guac.domain.com
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Note you will need to open notepad in admin mode or change the
permissions on the hosts file.
Depending if you are running Apache or NGINX, you may need to alter
configuration file to the web server name, default install should work
with the above unless the person who installed it set the name in the
config.

Thank you, sorry
Yes it's difficult to give more information as I didn't do the
installation, and I have little Linux experience.
But I'm stuck with trying to maintain it for right now.
The server is setup on a localhost , OS is Monjaro. Logged into the
Guac properties and guacd-hostname: localhost and guacd-port: 4822.
Which I believe is where the DNS configuration would be? Hopefully
that helps some.
Thank you,

Tried starting the server back up already and that didn't work.
Other then that I haven't made any changes.
Restarting the server isn't likely to fix DNS issues. If you can't
ping the hostname, then something has gone wrong with your DNS
configuration. You need to make sure that whatever controls DNS for
your location has the correct DNS records such that the host name
resolves to the IP address of the Guacamole server, and that the
client systems are configured with the proper DNS servers, search
domains, etc.
It doesn't really sound like this is anything in particular gone wrong
with Guacamole, specifically, but that your DNS zone has a missing or
invalid record pointing your expected hostname to the IP address of
the server. Unfortunately, without knowing exactly how you have DNS
set up in your environment (Active Directory, BIND, dnsmasq, local
Internet router, AWS Route53, Azure DNS, dynamic DNS, etc., etc.),
it's a bit hard to direct you to the exactly solution to the problem
you're encountering.
